Eras by another name

[The Vector Doctor]

I have seen a font that looks exactly like Eras but without the slight slant. Not only that but the sides of the letters are parallel. The vertical strokes on Eras are pinched a bit

Has anyone seen Eras without a slant and what is the font name? No I cannot just do a negative slant, like I said the sides are parallel on this font too

Anyone have a name for it? I'm guessing it is a copycat font

It's hard to tell if this has a slant,1 or 2 degree

Never mind,don't waste your time on the fonts there, they are horrible

The font you're describing is very likely the Eras knock-off that Corel supplied with CorelDraw up to maybe version 3 or 4. (Version 2 was WFN fonts -- version 3 and up was TT fonts). After that Corel supplied Bitstream fonts with a proper version of Eras.

I don't remember what Corel's knock-off name was for the Eras family, but if you can find a CD with an old version of CorelDraw on it, it'll have that family.

Aquiline?

Aquiline sounds familiar but I cannot find a sample to compare to

Hard to tell if the lines are truly parallel from that free Eras sample. A true Eras is slanted.

they are

downloaded the font and created outlines and it looks as if they are

Thanks for trying but that Eras is someone's junky version. It has way too many points and the curves are not smooth.

I still think aquiline or some other spelling is correct. It sounds familiar

The one you are looking for is called ERASER NORMAL......sometimes ERASE.....from Elfring Soft Fonts. It is a modified Eras with the characteristics you are looking for. Good luck finding it though. Something tells me Elfring got rung on that one.

I think I have Eras that is vertical. PM me with your e-mail address.

I am not looking for anyone to send me a font for free. Remember fonts are like software and should not be shared

I still say it's aquiline...
