noodlez Posted October 28, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment
George Thomas Posted October 31, 2016 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment
