    Hi All

    Can anyone ID this font please.
    I tried WTF and didn’t get a match.

    It’s the bolder version I need but the other weight shows how
    the a & the e are quite distinct.

    Thanks in advance

    Chris

    Hi George

    The photos are from a van. The website doesn’t use this font.
    The job is just to amend the web address.

    I may have to ask for details of who produced the originals
    to see if they can help.

    Thanks for looking anyway

    Hi Dan

    Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn’t appear to be the same.

    Cheers

    Hi Dan

    You’re right about it being similar. I may have to edit it in the end.
    I did try WTF but didn’t get a match. Will try their forum as well.

    Thanks again

    if you look under ‘Glyphs’ you will find the ‘e’ with the slanted crossbar.

    I hadn’t the foggiest what it was.
    Whatever it is, it’s ugly.
    But it looks like it comes in at least two weights.
    Love….Jill

    Harry

    What can I say! Thanks a lot, I really thought we were going to
    have to give up on that one.

    Thanks to everyone who looked particularly George, it’s not often
    you get stumped!

    Cheers

    Chris
