Good Evening All,

 

I've got a problem! I have attached a picture of a shirt design that a customer gave me to reproduce and I have not been able to match the font. I need an exact match too!! Some are very close but I keep finding a letter that is completely wrong.  I tried using Photoshop Font Finder and all of the Google Font Finder sites that are online with no luck. So I thought I would ask the group for help. I have a hunch that it is a font that has been discontinued or only available in the CorelDraw suite of programs.

 

I really apreciate the help, it's been a long time since I have had the pleasure of useing the community for help.  Have a great weekend!!

 

John

“Beton” and “Boston Poster” get quite close but there are differecnes especially with the lower case “a”. This seems like maybe a condensed version of the typeface, too. Also a little bit hard to tell, because the last line looks horizontally scaled. I will do some more digging …

I also asked a colleague and I think this might be Beton Bold and Extra Bold from Linotype designed by Heinrich Jost. There are several digitized version of Beton (also from URW Type Foundry, Scangraphic and Elsner & Flake) with subtle differences. I guess the fonts used for the T-Shirt have been horizontally scaled which shows in the dots which should be wider than higher.
