Member Cal… Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I have grown up going to a summer camp my family started in the mountains of West Virginia. Now my family and I have the opportunity help out. I’m tasked with redoing the lettering on our sign at the entrance to the camp on the highway. I plan on making the letters myself. This old tractor dealer is nestled in the woods a stones throw from the camp, and I think it would be a nice nod to the history of this area to use the font used for “Seneca Motor Company” on our camp sign. Here is a photo I took of the old Seneca motor company, as well as a link to someone else on the internet who thought the building was neat. Thanks for any help identifying the “Seneca Motor Company” font! https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2009/08/19/lost-ford-tractor-dealership-seneca-rocks-west-virginia/ Link to comment
Solution Member Ric… Posted January 13, 2019 Solution Share Posted January 13, 2019 Not a font: Additionally, the writing isn’t clear enough to suggest possible alternatives. Link to comment
Member Gre… Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Bank Gothic might pick up some of the feel of this signage. Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 There are many old-sign-inspired typefaces nowadays, but not many with such a trapezoidal |A|. Link to comment

Member Geo… Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Sign painter's work. If I were trying to imitate the sign I would use either Eurostile Medium or Bold. Link to comment
