Title: what font for 'police' jackets?
Post by: jvanick on June 26, 2014, 01:35:13 PM

I have a local police officer looking for me to do some reflective 'POLICE' on the back of his jackets.

what font do they typically use for that?

looks like I could get away with just 'arial' but wondering if there's something more 'official' I should use?

Impact is a good choice, it's bold and authoritative. It is also rather narrow so you can go taller with the letters and have a bigger print.

I agree. I've seen plenty of different fonts used but IMPACT would definitely be my choice if no specifics were given.

IMPACT!

It is what we use for the FDA and the OCI.

just an update, I ended up using Impact and they liked it so much they ordered a bunch more for their bike cops.

I know you've already updated, but yes, Impact...
