vangvace 12 Report post Posted October 21, 2009 So google has let me down and I'm ashamed to ask but... anyone know what the font is for the numbers and names on the back of the jersey? I'm playing with BB theme fonts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dano33 41 Report post Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) Yeah, it sucks, but it would be difficult to release that font. There are 3 O's in Osgood and the are all different on his jersey. Edited October 21, 2009 by Dano33 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

auxlepli 17 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 The name typeface is pretty standard. I don't think it's custom. I want to say it's something like Steelhead or something like that. What I'd like to know is the typeface for the Detroit Red Wings logo. Now that might be custom, but I bet there's something out there that's pretty similar.

auxlepli 17 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 The font for the logo is very similar to Bookman Old Style. OMFG you're right. They are very similar. Thanks for pointing that out, sincerely. I've been wondering what typeface that was for years. And thanks Echolalia for the link. Looks to me like one of the swash variety. http://www.itcfonts.com/fonts/font/pid/415...y=%22bookman%22 Oh and back to the name typeface, I think it really is Steel-something. I think even Matt posted that maybe a year or two ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
