Jim McDonald Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) This is the senior softballplaque of a young mother who died far, far too young. Her family has asked me to create a new version with her son's name and I would like to try to match the typeface if I can. Any and all suggestions are appreciated! Hopefully, someone recognizes it. I am searching on dafont with some hope. Edited June 13, 2021 by Jim McDonald OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don in brooklin on Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 The closest I have is courier new - bold (it maybe bold italic as I can't see from picture) If you do not want the centers to fall out you will have to use your eraser. If this does not work let me know and I will explore some more. OCtoolguy, WayneMahler, Jim McDonald and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blondewood Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Here are two good sites for free fonts: https://www.1001fonts.com/ https://www.dafont.com/ Here's one for if you have this issue again, you input the picture with the font and it gives you 60 suggestions to match it: https://www.whatfontis.com/?s3 OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McDonald Posted June 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) @don in brooklin on many thanks to you, I got this piece done and ready to present. Two layers of 1/4" MDF with paint in appropriate sections on the bottom layer. This is 16" diameter and is the biggest piece I have cut with flat blades. Briefly considered spirals, but thought better of it. Hardest parts were supporting it when a lot of the mass was hanging over the edge of the table.
