I feel kind of lame for asking , but does anyone know the name of the font that the Festool logo is written in?  Am looking to make some decals for my tanos systainers and would like to use the font.  Appreciate any help you can give!

Wertzy,

I believe that the closest font is called Eurostile.

The tools in my truck were talking the other day.  The Dewalts, PC's, Boschs, Makitas were not happy.  They also were in the minority.  Their complaint:  They felt unused and unappreciated since the Festools moved in.  I guess the truth hurts.

The nearest I can find would be "Eurostile Bold Extended #2":



It's not an exact match, as the Festool logo has all the square corners rounded off slightly.

Edit: I found that info here - just put "FESTOOL" in the 'sample text' box
