noodlez Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Does anybody have an idea what font was used for "ComposTumbler"? I found Rika Bold which is close, but would need some work. Thanks for looking into this. NZ
George Thomas Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 I haven't found the exact font, but this is someone's version of the California Grotesk font style which was current in the seventies/early eighties. I believe the bottom line is the original and I believe the top line is the same font, but stretched. Both appear to have had a stroke added, OR an effort was made to make a fake bold by layering clear film between a negative and the light-sensitive receiver. Either of those two techniques could have caused the round corner look. Similar to this: https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/california-grotesk/ The California Medium URW Grotesk spacing is a fairly exact match for the bottom line shown above. ::EDIT:: — I just found a much closer match: Europa Grotesque Bold, available at myfonts.com.
noodlez Posted November 2, 2016 Author Posted November 2, 2016 @George Thomas. Thanks for looking into this! I had a quick look at the 2 fonts you suggested, but believe that Rika Bold is much closer to what I need to find. I also just realized that my images might be misleading. I am looking for the font you see in green lettering, the black version is Rika Bold, a font I found to be a close match [workable], but it's not exactly the same. Thanks again Noodlez
