Re: Writng font of brand BLANCHET LOCATOP
Problem with these "old" logos is that they are probably handmade. But there are lots of free "online"tools out there that will search fonts for you. But I fear you will need a bigger/better image for the software to work properly.

Re: Writng font of brand BLANCHET LOCATOP
Searching for fonts used in sponsor logos is labour intensive and hardly ever results in finding exact match.
What i do: i look for font that comes close, and alter it in a vector drawing programme like illustrator, coreldraw or even photoshop.
A good start seems to be': bernard MT condensed. If not on your pc, you'll need to download font and install in font folder of your pc.
Individual characters need to be widened a bit, the 'openings' in char 'O' need to be made a little more oval.
If you can't find minimal match: completely draw font in vector environment

Hello Wim,
Thank you very much for your replies
You have found directly the good shape , which needs only small adjustments
I take the opportunity to ask you a question about the possiblity of this 956 decoration at 1/24 scale : it does not exist , would you release it please ?
Thank you for all

Most logos do not use standard fonts. And even if there is a font out there, for something like this, drawing it from scratch is probably faster than searching endlessly for the perfect font.

Agree with Michael. Anyway I have this as I made a Streiff figure

This is SuperClarendon, and it might be close enough. I did remove the serifs from the center arm of the 'E' though.
