TVR typeface

[blackmonday]

Does anyone know what typeface the TVR badges are based on?

[chris watton]

Am not sure, but what you could do is,, if you have a CAD program (I use TurboCAD), you can import the file of the TAMORA logo, and 'trace' over it, I have to do this with certain 18th Century letters from original plans when designing new kits.

The typeface is called "dolphin" not a lot of people know that

[chris watton]

Have trawled the internet, the closest I've come to is 'Delphin' font! Would the 'Dolphin' font be one TVR made up themselves?

[rolex]

No Chris, Dolphin is a standard typeface

Ah Ha, I do indeed have a font exactly like that one! Some of the lines are more 'pronounced' on the Tamora letters though, not by much though, I will have a go at tracing the Tamora letters later

I think you'll find it's called GALLIARD bold IIRC.

IIRC the guy who designed the Trident, Trevor Fiore, also designed the TVR logo.

Oh dear
