What font is this?

Post by Simon776 »

Does anyone know what font this is?

I've seen it on a few cars from the early 1960s but it clearly isn't the usual Charles Wright one.
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who do not possess it.

Heres a few suggestions, none are absolutely on the money, but if any are of interest I can e-mail you a copy over, just let me know.

Most likely it's not a "font" at all... 'just something the local sign-shop "cooked up" based on the sign-painters own style and liking.

Looking at the "chopped of" corners (upper right of 7 middle left of the 5 and bottom left og the 2) + the slanted base-line of the two - I'd say this is something you wont find anywhere else...

A good signshop should be able to reproduce it accuratlly for you, though.
Cheers,

"Agenda bold" is very close, just needs a corner or two chopping off and the 5 adjusting...
