Please can somebody tell me the name of this font, I'm sure it's a common one and I can't put my finger on it.



Thankyou a million in advance!

Drew, unless someone here recognizes it, you're going to have to google for something like "Free Sans Font" or somesuch.

(and, no, I don't know what it is )

Isn't it a bit silly to have fireplaces from the loch ness, surely they'd be all wet and gooey meaning you can't light a fire on them...

Chances are of someone knowing as slim, but I've got a load, I'll see if I can see if I got it or something similar for tomorrow evening.

freefonts.com or 1001fonts.com generally have a good number of them. To me that looks like one that comes with Office, but there's so many fonts hard to tell. Why don't you try e-mailing/phoning the company who used it; pretty sure they'll know as it looks like an in-house design.
(certainly as hell not something a professional designer would've done)

Nobody likes a smart ass.
