Eurostile is in my package

Eurostile is in my package whether it came with CS3 or not for Mac I have no idea. Thanks again so much...my finished product I think looks close enough. THANKS!

Although not CS3 package

Although not CS3 package fonts, Eurostile or Helvetica (or Swiss 721) may be your closest bet for fonts you already have. I think Eurostile is closer (at least in the bowls of the D, R), but the terminus of the leg of the R looks like Helvetica’s.

Great suggestions — one

Great suggestions — one tricky thing though. As a student with no cash, I wonder if there are any fonts I could use that come standard with the Adobe CS3 suite. Rockwell is in that list, so the I & the E should work there. Any suggestions on the other letters from the standard fonts?

I would personally suggest

I would personally suggest tweaking a mix of Rockwell or Memphis (for the I, E) with Heldustry for the rest.

I realize WIRED probably has their own custom font designed. But I’m looking to come as close as possible to that font for a knockoff (spoof) project I have. You probably already know what it looks like, but you can see the type here: http://www.wired.com/

Not worried about colors/shading, just the font.

Thanks so much!
