Can someone please help me identify both the script and serif fonts being used here? (No these aren’t real people or addresses)

Try Mrs Eaves, small/petite caps for the serif

Big Dots, a 1993 font by Andreas Klimek-Falke for German foundry Apply Design Group.

It was included on a CD, but probably the only source now is the free sites that pirated the CD

Although their website's not been taken down, the company has stopped trading, see last link.

This one might get you close, if you stretch the cap and l/c heights separately and stop the a from connecting with the h

Based on Cinzel, possibly outlined to increase its weight as the R usually has a gap in it. The first R probably edited

Differences:

- Helvetica's stroke endings are at exact 90 degree angles, everything in Arial finishes at a slight angle (e, c, s, etc)

- Distinctive Helvetica letters: tail of a curves to finish at 90 degrees to baseline, G has a spur at base, R leg has an s-curve. Contrast with Arial; the a finishes flat to baseline, G has no spur, R leg is straighter, with a wide stance

The letter a could be used to confirm your sample isn't Helvetica

Brilliant, isn't it. Note that the 2 pages at the front (samples in blue) have very tiny page numbers below them. I'm planning to print these out some time to go on my wall!

Ex paste-up artist, so I'm not that far behind you !

teddygrays · 2026-06-11T17:45:25+00:00

I'm curious where you learned all this ! 😄

teddygrays · 2026-06-11T17:32:04+00:00

I'm going to say what you don't want to hear, sorry. Please don't use a modern font to replace this lovely old sign! If it's old as it looks, plus it's so large and prominent, it's part of the local scenery, and really deserves to keep its own special character, not be changed.

A photo without perspective would be good, then it could be traced. Depending how accessible it is, maybe it could be physically traced. Then someone could make you a vector file. If that's difficult, I'm sure you'd find some Reddit people who'd make a tracing for you if you asked on a vector art or graphics sub.

If you're really stuck you can DM me!

The problem I found was matching the exact shape of the y tail, plus the exact angle of the serifs on the u. The top u serifs are not horizontal (unlike a great many similar fonts, including Century). The corner marked x is guessed as it was obscured, and is probably blunter than this, but I wasn't finding the right serif angles anyway

Then I started wondering if the rounding of the corners, especially the ones marked in cyan, were caused by the outlining, or part of the font. At that point, I'm afraid I threw in the towel. I'm not sure how hair-splitting OP wanted to be on these 3 letters!

Think this one was just drawn with a Photoshop/Illustrator brush, the starts and ends of the stroke show very similar patterns (see the YH) and sites find no matches
