41-250 Cabinet Graphics & Refinishing
#8

Ron, thanks for pointing out the Alternate Gothic font.  If I’d started with that, I could have produced a better product in half the time.

I shouldn’t have referred to my work as a “font.”  Each character is individually created by modifying existing fonts, tracing images of the original printing, and artistic drawing.  Irregularities are added to straight edges, corners are rounded, and symmetry is slightly disrupted to simulate the appearance of the original printing.  Here’s a comparison of the original tabs, my simulation, and the correct font:

The issue is a matter of taste rather than opinion.  Using the correct font is authentic, but I’d rather make it LOOK authentic.  Here it is with set turned on in a dark room:

I continually see small errors in my work that I’d like to correct, but until tonight I hadn’t noticed one GLARING error--I did “On-Off” instead of “Off-On.”
