What is name of the font used for Ubuntu logo?
I've tried to find it, but no luck. I tried bunch of oblique fonts, bot non of them works.
Anyone?

no it isn't, the 'b' in ubuntu has no serif at the bottom left.

So far, the closest font I have found to the ubuntu logo font would be Variable Black:
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/madtype/variable/

But as you can see, the inner sides of all of the letters are not perfectly round and the "t" is incorrect.

But I'm still searching...

It should be possible to find who designed the artwork for ubuntu, and then to send him an email. I suppose.

I've found a font that's actually closer to the ubuntu logo, with the exception of the "tails" on the u,b, and n. If I removed those tails and changed the curve of the t slightly, it would be perfect.

Ok, from the source's mouth:

ubuntu text logo isn't a font, they're path letters only.

huh.

So I guess I will be creating the "ubuntu" font with inkscape...

kassetra, did you ever complete that font? I'd be interested in using it!

I hope you do finish this font. It would be a boon to the ubuntu art community. And it should of course be included with ubuntu by default.

Another solution to have it installed is by using this command:


sudo apt-get install ttf-ubuntu-title

Cheers!

It has not been released yet but will be the standard system font in Ubuntu 10.10. In the meantime, you can download a SVG version of the new logo in my sig.

I think you mean you downloaded the classic Ubuntu font (Ubuntu Titling)? The new one (simply called Ubuntu) has not been released yet.

Hello,

There are differences, the first one is the new Ubuntu font and the other is HandelGotDlig.
