Daft as it sounds... does anyone know the "font" used by Monarch for their titles on the tail of the 720? Its for an FS project I am playing around with

Volrider,
I expect you've seen it, but there's a picture of one on page 46 of the May/June 1999 (no 57) of 'Airliners'. It's G-AZFB, ex Northwest.The mag features a major article on the 720. The font looks like a variant of arial bold italic, only a bit squashed up, to me...

Cheers,
TheOddOne

It's not Arial - nearest I can get is Futara which looks fairly similar (the a and c look about right) - PM me your email address if you'd like the font family.

Yes it is Futura (Medium Ital.).
Send me your e-mail and I can let you have the word as an .eps or .jpg
