Member Rum… Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 hello I customize some diecast police cars and I would like to realize the older New orleans Crown Victoria. Thanks Link to comment
Solution Member Kev… Posted August 7, 2021 Solution Share Posted August 7, 2021 New Orleans appears to be Roslyn Gothic Medium. POLICE seems to be Roslyn Gothic Medium as well, with the E flipped vertically and some horizontal stretching (225%). 1 Link to comment
Member Rum… Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Great ... Thanks Link to comment
Member Rum… Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 After several tests, it's not that this for POLICE. The O are rounder and the bar of E is down. In addition the letters are broader horizontally. An other idea ? I customize cop cars, hence my research. Link to comment

Member Kev… Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Roslyn was originally a phototypesetting face (it debuted in 1972), and digital versions may vary slightly from the original. But I didn’t pull that 225% figure out of thin air—I actually tested it before I posted my previous answer. Here is Roslyn Medium stretched by that percentage: Here it is again, with the E flipped vertically: And here is the same image as above, colored magenta and overlaid on your original image: A bit more fine-tuning of the letter spacing and scale (plus beefing up the middle and bottom horizontal strokes of the E), and I’d say that is about a good a match as you are going to get. 1 Link to comment
