Porsche TTF font ?
 
Hello community,

does anybody of you have the Porsche font available ?
I'm talking about the "Boxster" style as it is written on the trunk.
I only found the old "Carrera" style font so far.

Looking forward to hear from you !

I could be all wrong, but the word "boxster" looks very hand made and not take from a standard typeface.

I am a graphic artist by trade and it looks like someone at Porsche got busy with Adobe Illustrator and created it as a unique typeface for that word.

Hi,

you might be right - but you think they individually design all the names, like "Boxster", "Cayenne", or the numbers on the dashboard ?

Max, are you part of any Porsche club here in Switzerland?

mx33 08-09-2004 12:44 PM

Hello Mickey Mouse! Thanks for the link ! This is the one I've found so far. Now I'm looking for this script style font which they use for the numbers in the dash-board or on the back of the Porsches like "Carrera GT", "911", "Boxster", "Cayenne", ...

Salut Jeannot, no I'm not member but I was 2-3 times on the circuit with the Porsche Club Geneva. Where do you come from?

Jeannot 08-09-2004 01:04 PM

I am in Lausanne. How was the circuit? where have you been?

mmm
 
dude that font is so hard to find. The best thing to do is scan the boxster logo.. I have searched the net for this and i thought i could find anything... Guess i was wrong..

There are lots of porsche fonts just that boxster font is a knightmare to find..

Jeannot I was in Dijon (France - former formula 1 circuit), Lurcy Levis (private ex-airfield) and in south of France for a Formula 1 training (I was driving a 7 years old Formula 1 myself :-) - see http://www.agsformule1.com ).

Concerning the font I didn't find anything either. Maybe I'll start to create it based on photos with Fontographer. Because it's real cool...

Hi,

I'm trying to locate the "Boxster" font / text and found this old thread, did anyone ever manage to find it?

Thanks

Boxster font/typeface
 
Wraith,
I have scanned in a Boxster image in high resolution. I had hoped to be able to get it the easy way, but now I see that I will have to just clean it up in order to be able to use it. That's not a problem, other than the time it takes to smooth out the image I have. Give me some time and it will look great.
