MacThemes Forum / [Resource] CS3 Letterforms

I put this together a while back and thought I'd provide it to make CS3 sets easier (not that their horribly difficult now), and to try to cut back on some of the horrible type-and-save versions out there. This is simply the letter shapes from 15 Adobe products (obviously trademarked by Adobe), in an Illustrator CS file. All are on separate layers, and y heights are equal. I'm probably not going to spend time adding any products that are missing, though you're welcome to if you'd like, I'm not really picky about how this gets distributed at all so feel free to add to it or whatever. Just try to do some quality work that matches the real products. Enjoy.

EDIT: Fixing the title.

Thanks a lot, very useful resource!

is this a font or are these hand drawn?

Stratification · Jun 30, 2008 7:25 pm

Hand drawn to match the Adobe icons. Just defaulting to a font never sat right with me, I'm a little bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my vector outlines.

Yep. Copy-paste

I'm a perfectionist at everything (might be a good thing)

all I get is lightroom? oh well thanks for the idea

I'm pretty sure the font is Myriad Pro Bold. I think it comes with the mac, I don't remember.

It is semibold actually, bold is to thick. Good eye though thanks for the lead.

Semibold's in the CS3 Design Premium pack, possibly others.

mrbot · Aug 17, 2008 5:10 pm

The CS3 letterforms are actually based on an unreleased typeface called "Gauge" by Robert Slimbach. That he also co-designed Myriad might account for the similarity.

They're all there in Illustrator. They just aren't all visible by default.
