Thse Usna Posted Friday at 02:31 AM Share Posted Friday at 02:31 AM Hi guys. This may not be in the right forum; please let me know if I need to post this somewhere else. ··· I'm looking for fonts similar to Holise. Link to comment
Les Posted Friday at 11:47 AM Share Posted Friday at 11:47 AM No idea what the font is but can't help thinking they missed the mark with that ss ligature, it so lends itself to echoing the curves rather than a straight line - sorry i can't be of more help! Link to comment
Thse Usna Posted Friday at 01:20 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 01:20 PM Hi there, Les. The font name is HOLISE. What I'm looking for are similar fonts to it. Do you know any? I appreciate any help you can provide. Link to comment
Kevin Thompson Posted Friday at 01:26 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:26 PM The typeface is so distinctive that finding a similar (and I’m guessing cheap or free) alternative is not likely. However, a good resource to check for similars is Fonts in Use. Luben is the only similar option listed (that is a digital typeface). While only bearing a passing resemblance to Holise, the entire family can be had for $20—cheaper than Holise's student license. Link to comment

Thse Usna Posted Friday at 01:41 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 01:41 PM This is the thing about living in a hurry! I should have explained myself in more detail. First of all, thanks Ralf, those are nice fonts, and indeed somewhat similar to HOLISE. I'm looking for a serif font, condensed, with character, but maybe not so out of the box. Something similar to HOLISE but less pointy. And not feminine at all, but rather masculine and aggressive, you know, like HOLISE. But not HOLISE. Hope I make sense. Thanks in advance! Link to comment
Bjørn Edvard Torbo Posted Friday at 03:58 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:58 PM I don’t understand why you don’t just buy Holise and get on with your life since by all measures Holise is what you actually want. 🤷♂️ Link to comment

Respectfully, I don't think you have explained yourself well at all. What I get from your post is that you want something that's like Holise, but it can't be Holise or anything like Holise because you want it to be masculine (which Holise is not) and aggressive (which Holise is not). Frankly, IMHO any ultra-thin, pointy font is the antithesis of masculine and aggressive. Please try to explain what you're looking for better. Why not just use Holise? Link to comment
