Kabel light might have been its inspiration but there is too much amiss with it.

Thanks, Chris. I think this might be a stumper, or just edited.

Do I see one diamond and one oval shaped tittle?
(Actually there are three, but the third is a mush.)

I don’t see a ’g’ in your sample. Am I missing something? The ’s’ is an alternate character in the font. The ’e’ looks like it might have been made from rotating and clipping the ’e’ from the font. (Or based on the ’c’ with some editing.)

I have another explanation. I just looked in the booklet for a more than 12-year old ClickArt collection of fonts, and there is one called ’Gaston’, which looks exactly like your sample — upright ’s’ and tilted ’e’ and all. It was apparently a common practice to revamp one or two characters when ’borrowing’ an existing design, and that seems to be the case here. Often these old fonts have a way of floating around on the web too.

Well I’ll be, Mike. I think you found a winner; thank you! Seems like the nine in “1973” is really just an inverted six.

You all, as always, are amazing.

Scratch that. We kept looking and found what may be the perfect match with Zelda. The nine is correct too.

You’re spot on though Mike. There sure is a bunch of copycat fonts! We found three that would have worked in this thread alone.

Regardless, you fellas are lifesavers — and thanks again for the help and suggestions.
