Does anyone know the fonts on the dash badge?

i think the engraved number is times new roman??? but i cannot seem to find the "GALANT VR-4" and "Limited Edition" font...I think they are the same but not positive. No font even seems to be close to the A on it.

Figure someone here in graphic arts could help.

THANK YOU!!

Not the best picture but should help those who cannot picture it (not my number).

I've never found the font I sat one night for hours trying to get it close. To be perfect it has to be blown up then measured out and drawn by hand.

Quite a tricky one to find, I've looked long and hard, Mitsu I'm sure has it, but other than that, I can't find it anywhere.

Best I could come up with is the Galant in high res.

click

I did notice that the "GALANT" and "1991 LIMITED" is the same font. If you look at the N in either, you can tell, the only difference is Galant is in bold.

Wish I could be of more help.

thats a big help as of right now. THANK YOU! it lead me to find that they use that font to this day on stuff and i also found a marketing email on that site.

on the badge.....do you think that the VR-4 is same font? it seems to look a little thinner?

might end up scanning a picture of the badge into photo shop and tracing everything and then scaling it lol. i think it would be good enough for what i'm trying to do.

thanks for your help!

Try the Bitsumishi font from dafont.com but even that needs to be edited a little.
Depending on what you're trying to do I might be able to help you out.
