DESIGN/FONTS: Futura Display and a Question of Weights

[dewline]

Noticing the similarity between the font used in the Canadian Tire logo and the one used for titles and author credits on most of the Star Trek: TOS novels published during the 1980's. I asked around on Facebook, and the conclusion reached by several of my friendlisters there was that we were talking about was called Futura Display. While there's plenty of sources for purchasing licenses for the "main" weight of Futura Display, there's not a whiff of the weight I'm looking for so far.

Any suggestions for legal sources? I've looked at MyFonts and Fontshop, so far.

Of possible help: Fonts in Use showing other uses.

When I catch a break I'll fire up the backup gaming machine; my older HDDs are nested there in "Russian Doll" fashion. When I was doing layout work back-when I had a fair amount of open source fonts stashed. I will have to rely on the name as my discriminating eye has lost its touch over the years...

Thank you. Fonts in Use was a resource that those FB friendlisters used to help me confirm the name of the font family.

Which weight are you looking for? This site has a bunch; this has more legit ones.

In related news, I now want Sonar Sans but the site appears to be borked.

Apparently, they're undergoing a rebranding.

As for what I'm looking for...

...an example of the book covers I referred to above, with the example text highlighted via the blue-lined box:

This, maybe?

I wish that it were...but compression isn't it. Reduced line weight is.
