    Hi!

    I am searching for a particular font: the one which was used for "BIGCARTEL" from http://bigcartel.com/home

    Also, I'm looking for any other web 2.0 fonts.

    Thank you for your help!

    The one used in bigcartel looks like a variation of rockwell.

    It's possible that you're right. I contacted the bigcartell staff and they told me that "bigcartel" is typed with a customized font.

    Do you have the "rockwell" font? Could you send it to me?

    THX!

    I am sorry, I do not own this font. If you really want fonts.com has it for $22. I am almost sure that it was written with the Rockwell font and then the paths were modified in Illustrator.

    This is how it looks typed in rockwell.
    http://*wkccp.com/file/uploads/488a889f4a.gif (w/o the *)

    Im not sure if it is the same font, if it is they've managed to cut the edges VERY precise because that logo is beautiful.

    Note. I can't send you the fonts because I got it from my old Font folio package and the fonts in that package can only be used by people with Adobe Type Manager installed. Sorry.

    Most web 2.0 fonts are sans serif i.e. Arial Rounded MT Bold, Trebuchet MS or Lucida Grande.

    If you do custom logo designs then I would suggest you spend the money for the fonts.

    Clarendon is also pretty darn close to that.

    Also ITC Officina (I think that's what it's called), which is the font used in the Iomega logo.

    Do a screen capture of the desired font and go to myfonts.com.
    Select "What the Font" from the menu and you can upload the screen captured image file.
    The results should define the types of font you are looking for.

    All the fonts he mentioned come installed in your computer, although I am not sure if Trebushet Ms comes with the PC.

    I know Trebuchet comes with PCs since Windows 2000. Regarding ITC Officina, that's not a free font.
