  • font id please can anyone help?

    Posted by Jean Oakley on 27 March 2019 at 09:38

    Hi, I have to fit new decals to rear doors of this vehicle. I can almost match the font by using Source Sans Pro Bold. The attached picture shows part of the photograph with the grey text, my attempt at matching in black underneath. I do like to get these repairs right and as you can see by the lower case ‘g’ that its not the correct font. Can anyone identify the correct font please, many thanks jean

    Myriad bold is very close, you would need to doctor the downstroke on the capital R though

    Hi thanks, your right it solves the ‘g’ problem but having done a bit more typing it then causes an issue with the ‘a’. Ive not been out to trace it off yet so will see if anyone else comes up with a font. Last resort would be to use the font you suggest and just recreate the odd letters from a trace, thanks jean

    If it’s just an issue with the letter a, just substitute for a d & pull the top down, wouldn’t think it would be massively noticeable. I work between Mac & pc & I often find huge differences between the same font on both platforms.

    Heinemann font is also quite close.

    Hi

    It’s "FS Albert", either bold or extra bold.

    Cheers
