HELP! Font needed for WTHC design

[phcjpp]

Hi All,

I am really struggling to find the font that was used on the WTHC chips. Any help much appreciated!

I have managed to recreate the main design in Adobe Illustrator (see below) and have attached some scans of the chip fonts if helpful.

@Gear may be able to help you.

@Sprouty? South Park font?

I wasn't able to find anything similar. Weird, as it is usually not a problem. But you do have all the necessary numbers, don't you? So it should be a piece of cake to vectorize and use at will.

Quite right but I am looking at doing a largish plaque so that approach might show up the poor quality unfortunately.

Try this one Book Antiqua - bold font

Thank you so much!!! Needed a little of masking to get the red and yellow colours to work but great!!!

Not sure the yellow on the chips was intentional

Interesting - did they print 2 layers to get 'orangy' red do you think?

Printing is done in 4 passes (cyan, magenta, yellow, black), and sometimes there are misalignments between these. Here you can see a bit of "loose" magenta at the bottom as well.

Looking at the design closely makes me see Tob Hat and Cane.

The latest ... (fixed the top hat)

Not my design Just following what Paulson did! If you look above I agree it can be read as Tob Hat

 

[Chipenhagen]

... or Toþ Hat

Or if you wanted something a little less congruent, you could omit "Top" and put "Hat and Cane" (or "Hat & Cane") in script form. Imitation is the sincerest of flattery, but it doesn't require exact duplication.

Beginning the slow process of getting this designed will keep you all up to date and have done a group buy before so not a problem (but will need someone in the US to handle distribution when it gets to that point).
