Could one of you font wizards help me out here. I need to make a dimensional sign of a logo and need to know what font they used in this logo. The logo is on http://www.mypcoutlet.com on the left side of the screen. The bottom font is handel gothic. I just need to know what the heck font the "MPO" is in the square. Thanks ahead of time
It looks like Helvetica Ultra Compressed, but I think it's been modified. The arches at the top of the "m" are round, while the arch at the top of the "p" is flattened. I guess I'll just fake it. It's only three letters.
Have you try to identify it through the new -FREE- font identification tool available on Lynotipe website ?` I mentionned it 5 days ago on this website…

It looks to me like it may be a bit closer to "Compacta Medium"...or in the Compacta family.

or look at the Universe family of fonts. Universe 67 was one I used often for a compressed letter.

I thought Gavin might have been right but the p and m are different in go go squat and go go big. Closest I can find is Zurich extra condensed (Zurich XCn BT) with the weight changed a bit to make it bolder.

Maybe you could just get an .eps file from the customer or their graphics person. .eps files are vector images - outline. I just learned this and it's helped me so much. Scanning will require clean up - not worth recreating a font.
I've had the same thing happen. Fonts SO close. I don't hesitate to ask anymore. Who's got the time to waste.
