Could someone provide me with the name of the font face used by
Schempp on model names below the canopy and in their marketing
materials?

TIA

It looks to be done by hand, not with an established typeface that
embodies every letter of the alphabet. I decomposed the .pdf file and
found that that lettering is done with individual curves, not with a
font or typeface.

If what you want to do is put the word "Discus" or "Ventus" on a
document or on graphics that you stick onto your trailer, that's
pretty easy. All you need to do is open the .pdf in Illustrator (or
similar), group the strokes that form the word, scale the group to the
desired size, and then use it as you wish.

If what you want to do is create graphic lettering of that style but
with different words and characters, you pretty much have to do that
by hand in Illustrator (or similar). I suppose that there might be an
established font for that, but I've never encountered it in any
publishing app I've yet used.

Thanks, Bob K.

Yes Bob, thats the idea.

The earlier models had the same thing without the shadow effect.

Anyone know if there is any font out there that will approximate
this? I have a Ventus 1a that I am putting new contest letters on.
The contest letters are printed vinyl that has a "very special"
pattern I've selected. The nose of the glider and "Ventus" logo by
the cockpit are in red which doesnt match with my new print. Fixing
the nose is fairly easy as I can just get the pattern printed on a
square sheet, use cardboard to come up with the proper shapes, and go
from there. Its the logo thats the issue.

So enlighten us. What was the type face that is being used? Or is it
a secret?

There is no font face per say.... the letters are hand drawn. I
received a vector file for a Ventus c.... will just use the "Ventus"
portion. If anyone else wants it, drop me an e-mail and I'll forward
it on.

An enterprising fellow might contact S-H and offer to advertise their product free if only they supplied a couple of large format stickers for the trailer.

Never hurts to ask!

Ok, anyone have this in a format (vector?) I can take to my graphics shop and get a stencil made? I'm refinishing my fuselage and would really like to get the old "Ventus" back on there as original. I really like the lettering.
