Are we planning on counterfeiting?

no doing some design work for a shop who want to do 'whiskeybucks'.
changing bank of england to the shop name and the queen to a burlesque dancer!

if i was a good counterfeiter i would just buy the font!

Duc De Berry may be fine for the lower case - but you'd need to find some Swashy Caps... I doubt a font exists - most likely England had a designer on staff... lol

and maybe something like this for the caps?

haha I would hope that they did have a designer, using stock fonts for money seems a bit of a security risk!
I've found the actual font (http://www.k-type.com/?p=2353) but do you reckon anywhere will have it for free download?
thanks for the help!

No free download, they're commercial fonts

IT IS A COMMERCIAL FONT - therefore you pay... It's that easy.

That's not the font and It's only a tenner! Plenty of freebies here.

Yeah, I've experienced this capitalist censorship from time to time

It was a video from the Sex Pistols - Anarchy in the UK
