Hi, could use some help to identify a few fonts that I am looking into, if possible with a link to the foundry as well!

first off

second

third

last:
I’m pretty certain this one is Agenda but I’d like some confirmation

1. Custom, based perhaps on Handel Gothic

2. Custom, based on Interstate

3. Custom, based on ITC Avant Garde Gothic

4. Use Google to search Typophile

Thanks for the feedback, will definately look into those fonts anyone else have any other ideas?

I feel that the interstate suggestion was right on the spot, definately feels based on that font, also for the metro logo I’m going with Agenda. SKANSKA was pretty close to Handel Gothic but I’m not 100% on the Avant Garde suggestion, it may well be a very customized font but hopefully I can find something a bit closer even though you are on the right track.

I much appriciate your efforts, you’ve been to great help, thank you

For Nordea, check out Chalet from House Industries. It could be a mash-up of the various styles. The “ea” in particular look like the NineteenSeventy style. although the others may have been grabbed from NineteenSixty.

I take back my Avant Garde guess. There is more evidence that Nordea is drawn from scratch: the strokes are even, suggesting that it isn’t merely a stretched version of a geometric typeface like AG or Chalet.

Oh, and the globe that is the “o” in “Metro”, isn’t that from Carta?
