  • Recognise this font anyone ?

    Posted by Cheryl Tissington on December 12, 2005 at 8:03 pm

    Hi Guys,
    does anyone have any idea what this font is please.

    It comes from an American make of Yacht that I need to produce a complete set of new graphics for.

    I’ve tried whatthefont.com, but I don’t think it’s clear enough to scan it.

    I’d appreciate any help.

    Cheers,
    Cheryl 🙂

    Hmmmm, it’s a pretty small pic.
    Something from the Futura family?

    Thanks Stevo,

    it is a bit small – I agree. Unfortunately, it’s what the customer sent to me.

    I’ll try to blow it up and turn it into a negative. Sometimes this helps with identifying fonts on whatthefont.com

    Thanks for the suggestions of the fonts, I’ll check them out. Sometimes you just need a starting point before you plough through 1000’s of files 😮

    Love

    A few of the letters look like they are from the Albertus family.

    Cheers Andy,

    I’ll check it out. It’s possibly a standard font with little bits altered 🙄

    Thanks for your help

    Hi there,

    I’ve found another picture and think its close to O-BertaSB-regular with a slight modification.

    If anyones got the font, and would be happy to share, I’d be eternally grateful 🙂

    Another possibility is “Americana” might not be 100% but the 65 looks close.

    Thanks Lorraine. Its always the little jobs that you think are straight forward that cause all the problems….not to worry 🙂

    Cheers Andy, I’ll take a look at that one. You can bet, the customer will never notice anyway 🙄

    OK, ‘Amandame’ looks similar, although not the same. The ‘R’ is different, for a start. And the ‘M’. 😳 😥

    Think I’ve got it (can’t post VEF’s here, as Amaze is on my comp_. Think it may be Candida – going to post so you can try it….

    You are welcome, Cheryl, it’s one of those days where I can’t be bothered to do any work, much more fun playing on UKSB!

    Mmmm… I know what you mean 🙄

    I’m kicking my heels a bit at the moment. I’ve got plenty of work to do, but every job seems to have its own little problem and I just can’t get into it.

    I’ve also eaten far too many mince pies this morning.

    Well you’ve got to taste them haven’t you……wouldn’t want anyone being poorly 🙄

    I’ve heard that there’s a batch of bad pastry going around at the moment 😀
