Yet Another "Identify This Font" Thread

[Hyperelastic]

I have always liked the stern and businesslike, yet forward-moving font used by the old-line aerospace companies in their logos. I guess it would be described as a bold, slant, geometric sans font. Boeing (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&source=hp&q=boeing+logo&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2&aq=f&oq=&aqi=)is an exemplar.

Does anyone know the name of that font, or a similar one? A bonus would be a font that has both black and outline versions.

BOEING

Nice try - this is probably a little closer, but it is only vaguely similar

BOEING

Here is a font (http://exe.vis.ne.jp/fs_font.html)similar to the one Boeing uses. I had to jump through a bunch of hoops a few years ago to get permission to use the actual Boeing font to make a logo for my crew. I was suppose to delete it when I was done, I don't remember if I did.

Well, I can't beat racer72's! But I've always liked this font for what you describe:

I think the closest free font you'll find is Enter Sansman (http://www.acidfonts.com/freefonts/enter_sansman.htm). I use it on my website.

Hmmm...for the record, What The Font (http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/results?ch[0]=&ch[1]=B&ch[2]=O&ch[3]=E&ch[4]=I&ch[5]=N&ch[6]=G&ch[7]=&wtfserver=node5.ric.mf&id=000527a14b03531b000c288700000be7&glyphcount=8&imageid=16776558) couldn't find an exact match—in Boeing's case, at least, it might have been drawn up special by a company artist or somesuch. :(

Very nice!
