Does anyone have the BMW Helvetica font for Windows?

I've been looking for it everywhere, but it seems like Linotype (who makes the font) managed to quash every instance of it on the web.

Damn, I want that font too.

The intended purpose is to use it in conjunction with Ron Stygar's milling thing to replicate the BMW Motorsport door handles at far reduced cost, or to engrave with custom but BMW-esque lettering.

Damn i searched and couldnt find it

Nobody?

I searched yesterday for hours and couldn't find anything... sorry :(

linotype has a corporate account with bmw and so bmw owns the right to the font and so legally you can't use it for anything, only bmw can. so you couldn't even buy it if you wanted to and its illegal for someone to offer it and so its really being a pain in the ass to find. but good luck!

nope nothing

Goddamnit someone must have this...

No One

I'll offer a $20 reward for anyone who finds this font =)

You have to buy the font... It costs 24 bucks.

The reason you can't find Helvetica is because it's an Adobe PostScript font. Generally, you will have to pay for it, as well as use Adobe Type Manager to install it onto your computer—unless you're running XP, which supports PostScript fonts.

There are some TrueType versions, but Helvetica is a PostScript font overall. The closest Microsoft equivalent is Arial.

That's not quite right. They are using Helvetica Std, but with different kerning, size, and weight.

You can see all 17 versions of Helvetica at the Adobe site: http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/browser_H.jhtml

What are you planning to do with the font? If it's something simple, I might be able create it for you (graphic, banner, etc.), since I have the whole Helvetica font family. Let me know...

Actually, BMW Helvetica really is different than regular Helvetica. It's not just weight and kerning, some of the letters are reshaped.

Nobody would have a problem getting regular helvetica.

ive found helvetica neue is very close
