Bicycle playing card fonts

Hello!

Anyone have thoughts about what fonts or likenesses of them are going on in a playing card?
The ace, bicycle font and the copy at the bottom as well.

Thanks for playing!

This font is based on the numbers and letters

Greetings,
Besides the Numbers series from HFJ, which you might find useful, there's a free font called "Bicycle" which you might find to be of some help, though it's not a match:

Now that I think of it, there are also a few fonts at Letterhead Fonts that might be of use, especially with some tweaking:

A font called LHF Bill Blake comes to mind, but you might find better.
