Download !!TOP!! Number Plate Font

No they wouldn't. The majority of plates were either standard sticky letters on a standard sticky panel, or pressed / cast using standard letters, or built up using standard 3D letters attached to a standard plate, or made that cunning way with the multiple reflective lines curved to form letters. Most of these methods are described in what willie fixit has linked to, which also makes it clear that hand-painted plates lasted only up to about 1919, during which time cars were still rare enough for people to point at them as they went past.

From memory there were at least four fonts in common usage. None is needed now, as none is quite the same as the current style, so it's unlikely there are electronic versions around. Scanning from adverts such as the ones above seems your best bet, alas.

I am actually thinking of race car decoration, I see that the OP is asking about licence plates and the link provides the relevant info. I would be a little wary of the links info as well. its a private site for making money , not a reference site by any means. Check with the relevant gov departments if possible.

Your problem is more along the lines of the difficulty in recreating the stamped letters , the metal plate being cast with the numbers or stamped out of sheet metal. This means the letters are raised and then prolly screened for the color.

When I did my bobber plate I used thin brass sheet and tried to emboss the letters and was not able to without having to make a lot of tooling . I did manage to do the border edge and used vinyl letters to simulate the raised lettering.

The info on 1940's California license plate dimensions and materials was provided by an ex California Highway Patrolman from Highway Dept files. So I'm sure you can find info for the period you need. It seems materials , manufacturing procedure etc changed over the decades being looked at here. "Pre-'63" may not be enough to fine tune the info you need.

Here is a scan of a photo of Anthony Manor nameplate. Your font needs a little modification if you want it exactly as the GWR used. They used a font that had wide and narrow verticals to the letters.

Do any font experts know what font this is, shown on a 1968 Peugeot 204 Coupe press demo. Is obviously not the current one, or the pre-2001 font which I've shown as examples. Perhaps it was a special one Peugeot used?

I dont collect number plates myself, but I do pay attention to the different styles and types and find it all quite interesting (and also means I get very tetchy when I see the wrong period of font or type of plate on a car, because its one of those things once you know whats right and wrong you cant un-notice it LOL)

100% Hills , got the original digits on my Singer , remade the backing plate though , The 9 is also pretty unique as its not curled round like most , A few years ago a woman came up to my Singer . " Nice to see a HILLS plate still in use " , turns out her dad designed the font - never thought to ask what it was called .

EDIT: also worth noting that I think those plates in your picture are a pair of Homo-Hygrade plates, notable by the distinctive way they did the digit 8 (and technically a predecessor of the serck plate as the company was bought out by them IIRC!)

Yep, that's a classic post 1963 Hills pressed plate. Between 1963 & 1970ish all hills plates, both pressed & digit used this same font, designed for them by Jock Kinnear (spelling) the man who designed the font on motorway & post-warboy road signs. The font being a slight redesign of the 1947-1963 Hills "Popular". Still yet to properly establish if Kinnear designed the popular fount itself back in '47, or if it was the 1963 restyle that was Kinnear, if that makes sence.

VML 734G, looks like a Chas Wright from here but I need to see it closer & more square on cus it could be one or two other types depending on angles at end of digits etc, literally the plates I'm digging into now ?

The earliest of these plates had 3D raised letters and numbers riveted to the metal backing. These gave way to pressed aluminium or Perspex plates we are used to these days, but there was a lot more leeway given to fonts, so long as they fitted into some basic standards of size.

Recently refurbished body, came with the original white and yellow plates, from Jensen, and in good condition too. Many are now with black and white pressed alloy, but this one will be done exactly as it lest the factory in 1975.

You can have period correct plates made legally for pre-2001 cars. I have some really nice ones on my 1981 Land Rover made by Tippers Plates. No law-breaking involved, you just have to go to a specialist.

Great info on license plates which helps us all keep our prized classics looking correct for the year of manufacture. Please note on the Renault 10 pictured in your article it has it listed on the show board as a 1968. The suffix-registration on the car is a W which denotes year of manufacture is 1980-1981. A car built in 1968 should sport an F or G plate, right? Am I getting it wrong? Thanks, Guy

My Porsche 944 has an original dealer plate on the rear but not the front. I photographed the dealer logo, a colleague cleaned up the image and I printed it onto clear decal sheet. From there it was a question of trimming the image and transferring it to the front plate. Now I have matching front and rear dealer plates.

Like topic says, where can i change font colour for license plates ?

I want to create custom plates, and i need white text colour to make them good looking.

In GTAV colour is predefined for plates 1 to 5.

@RazielvvPL You can also try editing font extents and offset, but editing offset affects all the plates, while extents only affect its counterpart. If You want some example, download my `04 B7 and You will find my custom setup in the archive...

I want to make up some number plates for a early 1960's Matchbox J2 Pick-Up that I have just reworked. The sticking point is the number plates as I cannot find the correct font for them, all I can find is the naff post 2001 narrow version.

The number plate font you require is called "Charles Wright Font" named after the designer I believe. If you "Google" it you should be able to download it and then it comes up with all the other fonts in MS Word (well it does on my computer anyway).

Charles Wright is the current post-2001 font - don't use it on a 1960s vehicle as it won't look right. Prior to this there was actually no single standard font and despite extensive searching I've sadly never yet found anything that accurately represents of any of them. Arial is generally a reasonable substitute in small scales but isn't quite right, especially the wide letters like M and W that are too wide. I've tried Arial Narrow for these letters but it doesn't quite work as the point sizes aren't exactly the same and an Arial Narrow W is noticeably shorter than Arial letters of the same size. If anyone does find a downloadable version of a pre-2001 font I'd love to hear about it as the wrong type of plates on classic cars is one of my bugbears and that extends to my models.

Thanks for the information, am I not right in thinking that there was a Charles Wright 1935 Font, which was a wider version of the current font. When I was trying to find out information about number plate fonts I came across this website -type.com/who-was-charles-wright/ The first line of the website sums it all up perfectly really "It is surprisingly difficult to find information about the origins of the fonts used for vehicle number plates in Britain". I presume originally before 1935 dealers in early cars, lorries, tractors and steam engines just painted the number on the vehicles freehand, did they have a manual of what the fonts were to look like and if so was it the Local Vehicle Licensing Office (LVLO) which gave them out. It wasn't such a nanny state then. I don't know I am sure others have more knowledge than me?

I can't answer any of those questions but what I can do is reveal a means of making authentic pre-2001 plates. There are various firms who make 'show' plates in a variety of fonts, some of which are clearly illegal and only suitable for off-road use, but they also include some of the older styles. They usually have a preview system on their website that allows you to type in any registration you want and customise the plate font, size etc. By downloading the preview images and resizing them you can create authentic plates - helpfully they often include the dimensions so just divide these by your scale and resize the images to those values and your plates will even end up exactly the right size. 2351a5e196
