  Old Registration Plate font

  Posted by Colin Crow on 24 February 2009 at 17:18

  I need to reproduce some old style black and silver registration plates for models but can’t find reference to the correct font – does anyone know what it was for post war period?

  Thanks

  Colin

  the new font is " Charles Wright" and the version for 2001 was standardized in the width of characters & stroke which before then i don’t think was the case.

  It was not Charles Wright untill 2001. I Have this older font if you want it or can send the letters and numbers as eps or whatever.
