    Posted by Marcella Ross on 3 May 2006 at 11:08

    I’m looking for a font similar in shape to Eurostile, that kind of squarish look to it, but in a light weight. Euostile reg is too ‘fat’ according to my customer and I can’t seem to find a lighter weight in it.
    Can anyone suggest something vaguely similar, something with a modern look but with a fine stroke width. I’ve had a dredge through some fonts here but can’t quite pin point anything.

    I’m not looking for anyone to post me a font, just some suggestions please.

    thanks 😀

    Extend Light is squarish and similar to Eurostile but it does have a small serif on it. I can post a sample if you want

    that’s it Nick, but he wants something finer!!!!!!
    Anything along those kind of lines would do.

    Dave – I’ll have a look at that…. if I can’t find an alternative font

    Shane, that ones heavier! This guy I’m doing the work for seems to think that ‘fat’ fonts aren’t modern….. 😕
    I think he wants it to look as thin as a pencil line almost!!!

    Nick, I don’t have anything called SL Euro. I’ve got various versions of Eurostile in ttf format and also in signlab but not a light version.

    Its a Signlab font and it is just called Euro.

    well I think it is, it has a v in front of it when I look at fonts in SL

    Hi Nick, that’s exactly the font I used originally…. believe it or not that’s the one he thinks is too ‘fat’ 😮 😮

    I’m just going to install those 2 options above into Signlab and see how they look. What I like seems not to be what the customer likes …. 😕

    Sorry Marcella, my normal Eurostyle must be a bold version. 😳

    He is not bothered it he probably will not be able to read it then? 🙄

    Marcella – the TOP one has been inlined, it’s pretty much perfect with no wierd bits!

    I suppose Microstyle Extended is like me – too fat.
