Hi Lettervillians,

I'm in need of assistance. I'm bidding a job and can't seem to find their font in my list of many.
I am awaiting a call return from them, I asked if they had any vector images or at least a font name of this and they are "CHECKING"... hahaha!

Thanks is advance!

That looks like a custom drawn logo. Unlikely anyways that it is a standard font.

Nice looking font. I'd like a copy of it when you get it.

Brian..I don't know what "font" it is either..But that is a pretty "clean" bitmap of whatever letterstyle it is...Just digitize it!

I figure about one hour would do it..AND it would be a FUN thing to do!..I love doin that stuff!

I really do enjoy it!

Does the "Shelley Allegro" font exist within corel? It seems I remember having it... maybe, but not now. Where can I purchase it?

Dave: You may be right about just creating it. I believe the two words shown in the image is the only place the font is used. Don't think I could re-create it in an hour (I'm getting faster though)

Thanks everyone for the replies.

This is 100% stock Letraset Balmoral Script, except for the modified G.

Look for "Balmoral".

You can purchase it from Letraset. It might be on the Corel Draw list of fonts, too?

OK Mike, how did you ID that font? Was it with a font recognition program, or personal familiarity?

Hi Rick,
I recognized that font right off. The G threw me a bit, but the T was a giveaway. Balmoral is very distinctive and those extra swirls on the Caps set it apart from most other scripts. Actually the G is created from part of the normal cap G.

Mike

I checked on www.precisiontype.com. Balmoral is available there including a utility to let you view these letters.
