nearly 2,000 faces.

Interesting... Would Corporate A Light be among them?

Not in the 2004 set I am using. As the set tends to grow each year I wouldnt be surprised.

It is however a font which belongs to one foundry and thus far I have not seen that collection in Adobe.

I notice that they have in fact done the opposite. UWC have perfected and resold Adobe fonts.

So did anyone find the font in a collection anywhere that you are to share - I do not feel like paying $50 for one font but if it was in a large collection of fonts somewhere, I would consider it. OR if someone has it and cares to share the Corporate font with me, I sure would like to have it. I am wanting to make some custom floot mats and want to embroider them with the mercedes font if possible, THANKS!!!

Or go to the source of the font in Germany.

Whats the font they always use for "Mercedes Benz" though. Because that is a seriff font, and Corporate A Light isnt.
