My word has about 100 fonts. It's none of them.

I think I have a knockoff true type that someone designed at home, but it isn't a standard font. They also airbrush it on so they don't make stickers.

Doing some research I found out it's Bookman Old Style with Bold and stretched out. Look at the one I made below. I think I need to stretch a bit more.

Look at the "C" in the attached picture.

and the G should have vertical (not angled descender) on the serif
close but no cigar

looking at the name on th frame I see the difference. The one I rsaw as a referenc when I found the bookman ol style was from a colnago autorized dealer website. I guess they had used bookman old style too, as it is pretty darn close, but not the right one. Thanks for the sharp shooters out there.

Off the subject I know but that's a fantastic looking C50...

This thread originated last year but then kinda died on the vine... anyone have further info on a typefont that is close or fairly close for the Colnago frame lettering... somewhat closer than the Bookman typefont already mentioned.

Looking at Colnago's website and their various ads, I suspect that the exact font is a constant issue. While the frame shown has double serifs, older colnago decals are single serif as are most ads. I guess it begs the question, how close is close and which is right?

they use double serifs, single serifs, vertical and horizontal upper serif on their website...

i've found 3 different fonts just on the opening page and then clicking to see the upcoming models. the only thing that remains constant is the double, vertical serif on newer frames
