paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 08/04/2010 12:09 pm Off the wall question (but consider the source) - I'm taking a Dansco 7165 ( Franklin half) album and adding a page of dollar holes (38mm with foam spacers)for proofs and an additional page for Franklin commemoratives/medallions (39mm holes). With this much effort (time and money-wise) I want things to look right. Does anyone have an idea what is the font that Dansco uses for the 7165 headings? Google doesn't. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Paleoguy Report this Post to the Staff

I sound a lot less dumb when I read the whole question. Edited by Pinenut 08/04/2010 12:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 08/04/2010 12:30 pm I have the album with all the business strikes included. I just can't seem to come up with a matching font for the headings to make tags for the add-on pages. Thanks for trying! Report this Post to the Staff
hugemistake2003 Valued Member United States 172 Posts	Posted 08/04/2010 12:35 pm I know for a fact that the font used on the covers of all Dansco albums is Brush Script. As for the page headers, I do not know the exact name, but going by the picture linked above, it looks to be very similar to Rockwell: http://www.identifont.com/similar?UV. The years under each portal look like they are printed in Futura: http://www.identifont.com/show?M2. Brush Script, Rockwell, and Futura come standard on most word processing programs. You shouldn't have to download them or pay for them. Edited by hugemistake2003 08/04/2010 12:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I'm looking to do something similar with a few albums and wanted to know how this worked out for you? -Brian Report this Post to the Staff
