Colorado Mountain Signage: Vail (specifically)

EricBenjamin5 July 2012 · 09:55

I drove by these signs multiple times last weekend and I spotted a road-type that I hadn't seen before.. I'm really curious to figure out what SS typeface this might be:

I wish I had taken a shot of the Breckenridge one, as there are more letters to analyze, but the lowercase i seems to be the same in the "Elevation 8,150 ft." - so I assume it's the same typeface as the display that reads "Vail"

cheers!

Close to: ITC Officina Sans Bold

it seems to be ITC Officina Sans (Bold) for both "Vail" & "Elevation"

PS: Oh Boy... I'm too slow for Dick Pape ;)
