I'm doing some graphics that will be die cut vinyl and go on a friend's boat. It will include the name of the boat and we want the font to match type of the the J/Boats logo (see below). The font they use is probably a custom job. I could try to draw it myself, but I don't know if I can pull that off. I've tried taking an existing font (Chaparral Pro Semibold Italic) and editing it in Illustrator, adding curves and rounded edges to make it match. But I'm not entirely happy with the results.

If any of you recognise it or can suggest an a font that would match let me know.

I would appreciate it.

JBoat Logos

Looks like ITC Souvenir

Here's a Souvenir sample set at MyFonts. J WORLD doesn't seem to use the same font.

That's a match! Thanks so much!! I've spent so much time looking for that font.

You're right about the J World being a different font, but the JBoats is the one I really needed to match.

Thanks again!!

A friend of mine was reading a book and complained to me that the font was pretty but terrible for reading long text. The entire thing was set in ITC Souvenir.
