BMC/Morris font

Post by Rob_Jennings »

Odd question but someone might know...

Does anybody know the correct font used for the Morris badge, or a good closest match for it?

Cheers

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

Yep thats the font I'm trying to trace. It would be nice to know which font it is but a close match will do, if you can post the name of the font I'll see if i can find a copy of it on the internet

It's probably not a true 'font' - the O is the same as the 0 which doesn't happen with a 'font'. It's just a badge - copy it!

Hawksworth Graphics [who print MMOC magazine. Details inside front cover] might be able to help if you really want to know and not copy it [good idea tho].

The magazine title Minor Matters seems to be in that font or similar.

Sorry, Matt, That one definitely is not a font - it was designed in-house many decades ago.
:cry:
Why isn't there an upside-down smilie for me to use? Funnily enough, they are actually defined as being a font!
