Hi guys,

Its been a long time since I last posted on here but i'm afraid I have a question.

 

Does anyone know the correct font for the 205 Rallye and Turbo 16 text? I have been asked to recreate the graphics on Kankkunen's old T16 that happens to live a few miles down the road. Its just been rebuilt after a pretty huge and daft crash in a car park. I have another T16 to work off, but obviously having the right font makes life a lot easier just for that sticker.

 

Many thanks

Adam

i am guessing yes, but have you tried a photo of it from something, making it greyscale, and deleting noise etc and running it through WhatTheFont?

If you do find the font, please let us know. :)

 

[EDIT] I just tried putting this image through 'what the font' and though it was fine recognising the individual characters, there was no match.

needs to be more face-on and with the background tidied up / greyscale really so it detects better :) i use it for millions of stuff, it's usually very good

 

it's probably a normal font with some rules punched through it

 

i'm having a look now. it looks similar to Geometric Stencil EF / Futura Black SB but not 100%, plus the lines would need altering so forget that!

Morning.

 

I have tried it with a pretty clear image - http://www.cvgwrapping.com/storage/T16GS.jpg

Doesn't match to anything so I think i'll just have to trace it and line it back up - what I was going to do anyway!

 

Thanks very much

Hi guys, have hand traced it from the photo.

Now have the full artwork for the car sorted, stripes, text, logos, everything.

 

Thanks for your time :)
