OEM Font Patterns

Does anyone know where I could download the OEM font patterns used on our cars? I'm looking for the pattern used to spell "FORMULA" or maybe even "FIREHAWK"; but I want to be able to spell other things than just those two words.

Re: OEM Font Patterns

I've seen posts about this in the past. From what I gathered, there is no exact match for the font used on our cars. So all those letters in the same style don't exist.

The closest font I've seen is named "Goodtimes". Its more based on the Pontiac lettering. I'm not impressed with the font but its all thats out there.

Re: OEM Font Patterns

OK. That's not what I wanted to hear. But, I appreciate the replies. It is hard to believe in today's world of techno-wizards that somebody hasn't reproduced a font that was first used 25 years ago. I mean, while I was searching the net for the font, I saw a font for the TV show "Buffy, The Vampire Slayer" ........ for Pete's sake!!!!!!

Well "Buffy" probably used a pre-existing font. And yeah, sometimes when you find the truth is isn't always what you wanted to hear
