Does anyone know what this one is? It's not Thunderbird.

Looks hand drawn to me. The ends of the S, the inconsistent stroke widths, serifs and spur treatment are a dead give-aways.

Bob, I think it's a font because I've seen that same S before (maybe in a nightmare). This is a partial photo of some building letters in Tonopah, Nevada that I have to match for a sales sketch. It would be nice if I don't have to redraw them Posted by Bill Davidson (Member # 531) on :
Looks too old to have been a type face.

I'm voting hand drawn also, I don't think any two letters have the same stroke width. It also looks familiar, I'm betting there is something "horseshoe close" out there

I'm going with 'hand-drawn' too.
Notice the "C". The bottom of it is much heavier than the top stroke; seldom done in a font.
Shouldn't be too hard to 'conjure' one up, by modifying T-Bird or some other similar styles.

I'm going with hand drawn as well, because the spurs on the left side of the "N" are at different heights, and most fonts if they had a spur inside the "C", they would have spurs inside the "O".

Yeah, you guys are probably right. FYI - These are old handcut FCO letters with skeleton neon. The guy might have been too lazy to cut those center spurs, LOL. That S still bugs me though. I know I've seen it on a font. I went ahead and substituted the LHF Jumbo Spurs font and it was okay with my sales guy. Thank God - It looks a heck of a lot better... hope they buy it in Tonopah.
