    Only me again …………. looking for a font suggestion. I need a font that looks tubular ……………. square but tubular (if you know what I mean)
    It’s for a fabrications company whose logo looks a bit like pipes. I don’t need to replicate this just something vaguely similar.

    😕 oh I wish it was friday …………… (!)

    Marcella,

    What about VAG Rounded. Simple, but nice (a bit like me).

    My camera battery is flat so I can’t photograph this and upload it
    😕
    VAG Rounded isn’t square enough, I’d thought of that. Copperplate is nowhere near what I need. It’s very like a pipe, but square in shape.
    Oh, I’m not describing this well am I? 😕
    If you could imagine a drainpipe bent into the shape of an F the the only rounded part is the top left corner ………..

    should I just go back to bed?????? 🙁

    Brianna might need too much modification if there is a lot of text, but is this the type of thing you mean?

    Bauhaus is waaaaaaaaaay too rounded. The other is too fussy.

    It’s dead simple, very square in shape but rounded at the corners.

    Oh, this is driving me nuts. 😕 :lol1: 😕 :lol1:

    Bank Gothic isn’t rounded at the corners ………… it’s too sharp.

    I think I’m gonna give up on this. If I could upload a photo you guys could probably have sussed it right away.

    Worst thing about this is that I’ve done this before and lost the file ….. 😳 😳 😳 and can’t remember what font I used. 😥 😥 😥 😥

    that’s better Warren!!!! That’s the closest yet. I could fatten that up I suppose as it’s too thin. But the shape is much better. 🙂
