Member BLM… Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 The original designer of our business cards lost all of her files from a computer crash and doesn't remember a particular font she used. All I have is a flattened PDF with curves only. I have tried many online options to identify the font but it always only gets close. For example, the letters would look good but then the numbers didn't. I need to find this font as we are adding a new person and I would really like to keep the same look. She thought is was an Avenir and the letters do work, but not the numbers. Any help would be appreciated. She is trying to see if she can figure it out too, but figured I would ask here. Thank you for your time. Link to comment
Ralf Herrmann Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Thanks for your request. Unfortunately it doesn’t comply with our rules and therefore cannot be published yet. Problem of this topic: The required information about the source of the font samples were not given or insufficient.

Member BLM… Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 Ralf, Do I make a new post or edit the original? Obviously, I have all the info you are looking for because it is my company business cards that I am trying to find the font for. it should be a commercially available font that my designer used. I was hoping not to give too much info in worries I would be spammed a lot. Would just giving my company name and saying the cards were created in 2020 be sufficient? Link to comment
Ralf Herrmann Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 A reply here is sufficient. Link to comment
Member BLM… Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 Thank you Ralf for your input and direction. This is for my company's business cards. Company is Wunder Lighting & Controls. Business cards were created in 2020. The typeface above was copied from the flattened PDFs I have for our business cards but there is no font info. Again, my designer is looking too, but wanted to have a backup plan given my search with "what font" type searches turned up fonts that were close but mostly missed on the numbers styling. I am looking for a digital version of this (commercial or free) so I can make a new card for our new hire. Link to comment
Solution Member Kev… Posted April 13, 2022 Solution Share Posted April 13, 2022 Your business cards seem to be set in Pier Sans Regular, by PangramPangram Foundry. The commercial version currently available from the foundry is slightly different from your sample (note the lack of an overshoot on the horizontal stroke of the 4 on your card)—my guess is that the original designer used an earlier release of the typeface (it debuted in 2015, and has been updated since).

Member BLM… Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 Thank you for this info. I was also looking at Pier Sans but the 4 wasn't the same and also 2, lower case y and g looked different too, so moved on. I appreciate your input greatly and will move forward with this newer version as it is really close to the original. Link to comment
Member Kev… Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 If you contact the foundry, explained the situation, and shared the graphic above with them, they may be willing to sell you the earlier version (no guarantee, but it might be worth a try). 1 Link to comment
Member BLM… Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 @Kevin Thompson Thanks for the tip. It worked and the foundry sent me the OG version. 3 Link to comment
