Hi, I've to reproduce this logo in word environment.
I've tried Futura-Normal (bolded by word) with 95% characters proportion and it's the most similar font but, as you can see by the comparison, it's not perfect. In particular:
- the final part of e doesn't follow the rest of the elliptical shape but it poits outside
- the "cut" of t is perfectly divided in 2 instead of being longer on the right side
- the inside "rings" (empty parts) of o, a, p are too large
- too much space between the "legs" of n
- l is too short
The only good side is that the "peaks" of M can be easily cutted off to get the flat shape as the logo.
Thank you in advance

Re: Logo font similar to futura
There are too many variables here to give a perfect answer.
1. The principle unknown is how Word emboldens a font. This could account for the /M width differences.
2. There are perhaps hundreds of Futura fonts - ones with equal bars on the /t and some with unequal, some with shorter or longer /l, some with wider/narrower /M or shorter/taller /t, etc.
3. The example shows a changing horizontal discrepancy (letter spacing) which could be attributable to kerning.
You may have to simply hand-set/adjust the letters to get what you're after.
