Before I get screamed at? I'm sorry if this thread has been done to death!!



Basically I'm looking for the Chems typeface. I have the font DUSTMITES but its really rough and ragged and looks like someone has crudely traced to original font - am I right or wrong?



If anyone knows of where to get the genuine font or they can email it to me, that would be wicked.



Cheers if anyone can help.

Uh oh, time to FLAME you!!!!!



Just kidding. ;)



The general consensus is that the Chemical font is closest to the "sho" font - if in fact that's the font used for the logog, even it must've been tweaked, varied and customized to make it exclusively Chemical.



The "sho" font is also not free, you have to pay for it althoughthere might be someone here who's willing to share.



There's been some arguing over this, going back and forth over what font it really is... You may want to use the search function on this site and type in the words "sho font" - I know it's been brought up in quite a few threads.
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle

Cheers for your reply, you advice/info is great!!



For years I have tried to track down the genuine font and all I've managed to do is locate Dustmites - which to be honest is pretty dire!!



Shouldn't have any probs tracking down sho font as you suggest.



Ta much
