Title: Transfer Express Number Font?
Post by: mimosatexas on October 27, 2014, 09:58:33 AM

Does anyone know the name of the font used for these numbers: http://www.transferexpress.com/content/exported/images/styles/StockNumbers/1kingdom_black.jpg (http://www.transferexpress.com/content/exported/images/styles/StockNumbers/1kingdom_black.jpg)

Trying to match it, but close if fine.

I'm betting that it's good that you will settle for close as I wouldn't be surprised if this is a proprietary, unmatchable font, as I used to find that even software from Stahls contained different (but similar) fonts to their die cuts I used for years.

I hope I'm wrong. ;)

Same font was used for numbers in English Premier soccer league between 1996 and 2007.
That might help you with finding it. Unfortunately, do not know the name of the font

what I ended up doing was scanning and tracing them....that way if I am short a number i can always cut it...normally I just order theirs.

I started with "Castle Ult" ....after a few "tweaks"....See attached pdf...Original at top in Green...Tweaked in the Pink at bottom...Figured you could take care of your inline/outline stuff...Hope this helps!

Thanks!  That is definitely close enough, and I can handle the outlines :D
