Hi, can anyone identify the font(s) used on this speedometer dial?

Chhers, Dave.

This is most probably not a font

thanks for reply. Don't understand 'probably not a font'

Oct 17, 2015 at 21:23

Define 'probably'
Define 'not'
Define 'a'
Define 'font'

Done? Got it?

you probably have big feet, a red nose and bright red hair. Clown

Why you do not reproduce the font ?

thank you claudeserieux for a sensible reply. I have no idea of how to reproduce the font. if I could I'd give it a try. Just foun a font called Eunoia that is very similar.

When a native English speaking person can not understand a phrase as "probably not a font" it needs a brain transplant as it has not passed the 3 intelligence quotient level.

thanks Yaprak will probably use that as the dials don't have a font on them. So I've been told.

As said, you really need a brain transplant. Really? Desperately.

A brilliant example of correct grammar.

If you are interested in approximations for your vintage speedometer, then Eunoia would indeed be a candidate.
If I had to pick a substitute, I would go with Spire, created by Sol Hess in 1938. The speedometer numbers are hiding inside and could be revealed with minor editing. If you can't edit a font, Spire Regular still has the same vibe as your speedometer numbers.

Suggested font: Spire

donshottype, had looked Spire also and looking again at Eunoia I'll go with that as it is very close.

If I had to find a substitute - that had the same feeling, I think I'd choose Britannic - it was the S that gave me the feeling...

NOT THE FONT... just another similar to --

also Cotoris

or the good old stand by of Optima

Again NONE ARE THE FONT

Suggested font: Cotoris
