Hi Guys,
I got an old Centurion bike which I am restoring and I need to make some new stickers for it. Only problem is I cannot find the font Centurion used in the 1970's. It looks a bit like the font Elephant, but has more and fatter serifs. I have been through all my fonts in Photoshop but could not find a decent match.

I was hoping one of you guys might have a huge font pack or know the font in question. Here is a picture of it:

Garamond (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garamond)

It could easily be one of the many types of Garamond fonts out there. As pictured is the default Windows version.


What ever it is, it is definitely bold.


This site has pretty much all fonts availible for download. It isn't English but I like their setup:

Nice thanks for the tip. It could look like a variation of the garamond font.

Try Georgia + Bold

C is missing its lower serif, though it's very close overall.

Maybe it is two fonts. Georgia Bold looks very close on all the lower case letters. You might have to steal the capital C from another font. Very few fonts have the lower serif on C.

Thanks a lot. I have not found the exact match for the C but I figure I can do that in photoshop. The rest of the letters look right.
