lord_seagrave Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) Hi chaps, Any graphic or design gurus out there that can help me identify a font? The cactus emporium P R I C K had a bespoke sign made which is used on the cover of their book. www.prickldn.com/ Can anyone help me find one similar?

Fatcatsplat Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Beardo is your man for this - I mean the font, not the title. But come to think of it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Context is the key. LS can you be more specific about which specific font you are referring to? There are quite a few in that link. I know a font designer, so may be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_n07 Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) The font used in the website is Karla, but is it the font used for the company name on the book cover \ logo in the menu bar that you are after? https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Karla Edited December 6, 2017 by old_n07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuey Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 looks similar to a font called "History Three" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPAS 15 Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) Looks very, very similar to King’s Gambit. The R is not quite the same but it is not hard to change fonts slightly to suit your needs. I was in printing design many moons ago i we got asked quite regularly by customers to tweak fonts. Link below http://www.1001fonts.com/kings-gambit-font.html Let me know what you think. Edited December 6, 2017 by SPAS 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Stu, Yeah it’s the word/title P R I C K from the cover of the book. Slightly stencilled, but stylised. LS 14 hours ago, SPAS 15 said: Looks very, very similar to King’s Gambit.

Dunkield Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 LS - he says it is most likely a custom job, but have a look at Volterra it is pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
