What font is used for the graphic along the bottom of this page (the address)? Or, what fonts are similar?
Similar, but not quite the same: Anna.
You might find What The Font useful.

Yeah, Avenida/Avenue/Avenir or any of those clones.
That's also a horrible application of it, even if I forgive the unforgivably bad letterspacing. Please don't use it for anything other than a title, and even then only for a 50's diner. :)

Response by poster: I have no idea the purpose. I got an email from my mother that said "URGENT" and the body was "What is this font?"

It's not quite Avenida; the crossbar of the A is in the wrong place, and the G's stem is too short. Plaza looks identical to the sample, as far as I can tell.

It matches Plaza better than the Avenida family I can find. The number forms are the easiest to see the distinction.
