    it looks hand painted mate.. the capital is belongs to a different font family from the rest.

    arrgghhh i know the fonts name for letter @A@ but it slips me. ill repost when it comes to me.

    the rest looks like optima.

    remember though its painted and the text is inconsistant on width etc
    so although you are using the same fint it will differ or appear to differ in leg thickness & the like.

    hope this helps some

    Hi John….
    To me, it appears to be 2 different fonts.
    The A looks like “Pretorian” or possibly
    Devinne Ornamented.
    The rest looks like Optima.
    (The names are a mix of Letraset & Gerber fonts)
    Just a quick opinion, am not near any books, etc.
    I am daft cow anyway….! 😉

    looking at it again it may not be painted. if not the vinyl may have shrunk some and its distorting the letters a little.. 🙄

    Thanks for your quick info. Unfortunately I don’t have either Pretorian or Optima – would someone be able to email them to me?

    I have it as a Gerber font, but alas I do not know how to send it!
    My email is jill-the-ripper@lycos.com if anyone can explain this to me.
    It came with my GraphixAdavantage software!
    Love-JILL

    Here is the best I can do.
    I have tried zipping/unzipping,
    cutting/pasting, just wish i was more
    computer savvy.
