Good Times Regular by Larabie Fonts. Perhaps modified to narrow the gaps a bit.

Oct 20, 2014 at 11:01  [initial post]  Older Radio Shack "Enercell" Batteries

I'm trying to identify the font used for the large words "LITHIUM", "ENERCELL" and "ALKALINE" on these battery labels. This label style was used from about 1992 through 2001. I believe those words are all the same typeface or perhaps slightly different weights of one family, but I may be mistaken.

It seems to be a version or lookalike of Univers, but I haven't been able to find a true match.

@moderators: please do not remove the alkaline battery from the image. I know it's a tad blurry, but this is the best image I could find of the alkaline type and it contains additional letters not present on the lithium battery.

I found a better image, but I still want the font to make a perfect replica. The font seems to be a classic sans-serif, but with an unusual feature in that the horizontal center strokes of "E" and "H" are well above the midpoint of the cap height. Also, the bowl of the "P" is not closed, and the top of the "Y" is quite widely splayed. It seems familiar, but I haven't been able to match it to any of the fonts I have.

I would guess this artifact is pre-1970, possibly pre-1960. It's what is known as a "number card" (or sometimes called a "dial center") from the middle of a rotary-dial telephone fingerwheel. Normally the number of the line to which the phone was connected would have been written or rubber-stamped in the white banner across the middle of the card.

Thanks in advance for your help!

FYI, overall character-to-character spacing in a font is called "tracking". "Kerning" is an adjustment made to the tracking, on a case-by-case basis for manually defined character pairs.

Nope, not that one either -- the T's still don't match, and the j is a little different too.

Not a font. Hand-drawn. Notice that all three "L"s are different.

Empire is close, but I can see that "N" and "S" differ.

Suggested font: Empire

It's not exactly Brush Script (at least not the version linked); note the i-j junction. Could be customized, or a different font derived from it.

It's definitely one of the Bauhaus-derived fonts (of which there are dozens). In fact, it could even BE a "Bauhaus" with an alternate "y". Other strong possibilities include Blippo Bold, Pump Demi.

Other names I've seen used for Bauhaus clones include: Baha, Bahamas, Baron, Bimini, Blipper, Bordeaux, Brandish, Graphics, Mumbo

Suggested font: Blippo
