Topic: Forty Licks - Font Used On The Artwork? Return to archive
7th April 2006 01:07 PM
paulmacca My apoligies if this is old news, but can anyone help me out with the font name used on the Forty Licks set? I'm working on a project nad want to use that font, but I can't seem to nail it. I get close, but not close enough!

ANY help would be very much appreciated.

-all the best!

paulmacca No, no... I've been too busy trying to remove landmines from the ocean floor...

Soldatti No idea, just try on the font menu of your program.

paulmacca Well, not to start a war, but I've *obviously* tried all of the standard fonts as well as many others. I've spent a bit of time poking through the font sites as well, all without any luck.

C'mon, surely *someone* out there in Rocks Off land must know...

ray Hi there,

When we create the forty-licks slipcase, we used the Eurostyle font.
This font is used also for other best of albums by other artists.

regard, ray

paulmacca Eurostyle and Euromode get me close, but the font seems to be too "short". The font of the album seems to be a rather elongated version or something. Euromode needs to be vertically "stretched" to get closer to the album font. Does a font exist that matches the album font, or do we have to mess with one of the existing fonts and try to "stretch" it?

paulmacca The name is *obviously* a joke. Perhaps that's why no one has responded with the right answer...
