  • Need help on font id please guys

    Posted by Jason Bounds on 9 November 2005 at 17:05

    I hate having to ask you guys for help on fonts, i have looked through 6300+ fonts today, since 9am this morning and am now cheesed off, so i’ll ask for your help if i may.

    I’m needing to know what either of these two fonts are called please.

    I have found similar, but i would rather use the same, or a very close match, the similar ones i’ve found can still be seen as a little different.

    Scanning and digitising is no good as the customer wants varied text in both fonts.

    any help is very much appreciated.

    Thanks Guys & Girls

    Jas…

    Bottom one looks a bit like Bank Gothic Medium

    Inverted the colors & looked it up on WhattheFont, it’s called Folkard

    Obviously the “designer” also was unaware that it’s improper to use all-caps on a decorative alphabet, as well as a poor speller.
    Love…..Jill

    Here I’ve had a twiddle with it, too bad the fonts go together like stripes and plaid….. 🙁

    You lot are fantastic, I love you all.

    The customer had this sign done for there shop 3 weeks ago by another sign company, and may I say that it was a rather large sign company in Tamworth.

    The owner couldn’t understand why her customers were laughing when they walked in to her shop.

    I happened to see the sign while driving past the shop and couldn’t resist in going in to tell the owner, there’s nothing worse than a sign maker like me seeing someone elses shoddy work.

    after i pointed out the obvious problems with the sign, the shop owner asked me to design and make a correct sign for her.

    Thanks again folks…..

    I had never seen that Folkard font before.
