• Font id please

    Posted by John Childs on June 25, 2007 at 8:50 am

    I thought this was going to be an easy one, but after checking my listings for over an hour I can’t find the right font.

    Any idea?

    Yeah, I’ve found quite a few like that. It’s driving me nuts. 😀

    Thanks for looking though.

    Most of it looks like Optima… maybe close enough to get away with 😉

    Andrew,

    My version of Optimaa doesn’t have the 8s and 6s sticking above the rest of the numbers. Is there a different version?

    John, what is the bulk of the text like, maybe we could get a name off that, it may be that they used the same font for the numbers?
    I’ve gone dizzy whizzing through my fonts. 🙄

    Unfortunately not Nick.

    There’s text as well, I just thought the numbers would be easier to identify. 🙁

    Very clever Andy. Why didn’t I think of doing that? :banghead:

    That’ll do for the phone number, the text as well unless we can find something closer. 😀

    it is similar to Optima but the ‘f’ is different for a start.

    Unfortunately yes Nick, although unusually this potential client is fairly close, only about eight miles away, so I can go get a better one no problem.

    Perhaps I’d better do that.

    Good enough Nick.

    I’ll use Castle for the text and Andrew’s Optima for the phone number. 😀

    Many thanks all.
