dougy -> What is this font? (3/10/2006 11:33:15)

Hi Guys

Everytime i have to use this font i have to draw it myself.

I am getting tired of doing this and wondered if anyone knew what it was

Not the best picture but its an old font used by VW on Polo between 91-94

Whatthefont thinks its all one character, so maybe try separating the letters with photoshop and then going on whatthefont...

Looks like a custom-made one. It means that someone just designed the lettering and a mechanic carved it out of metal.

Out of my head it reminds me of commercial typefaces Serpentine and Crillee, but they're not as distorted as this one and the letterforms aren't so simplified.

You can, of course, purchase a similar typeface like Dexy, throw it into Adobe Illustrator or some other vector graphics program, and tweak it so that it matches the VW lettering. Then save it in vector format—you don't need to draw it all over again each time you use it.
