Can You Name This Typeface?

I was chopping up some boxes today for recycling and I noticed this Scientific Atlanta logo on one of them. At first glance I immediately thought it was Helvetica , but on closer inspection I was wrong. You can see that the “a” and “t” are slightly different than the forms found in Helvetica and the overall width of the face is wider.

Personally I’m not sure which typeface this is. Do you? Part of me thinks it’s not Helvetica and part of me thinks it’s so close to it that it might be and old or new variation of it. Or it’s possible that they commissioned someone to create a special face for them based on Helvetica.

What do you think?

Some text I threw up on my office wall that I share with my copywriter partner. He came up with the line and I printed out each letter, set in Helvetica, on an 8.5×11 paper. The letterspacing isn’t so great, it was time consuming and I was in a rush since I had to get back to work, but I’m pretty happy how it turned out. It was definitely a fun little project.

Sexiest Form You Ever Saw

This is probably the sexiest form I’ve seen in a while. Right up there with that Eames form. I want one.

It was created by Ewan Robertson of Oscar And Ewan for Terrace Studios, a gallery in Dalston, London. The project includes identity, design and a website which you can check out there.
