    Default Font for 60-70's F1

    What is the numeral font used on all the F1 Cars in the 60's and 70's notably on English cars?. Most were used on white roundels.

    FV

    Fonts (electronic typefaces) did not exist in the 60s and 70s. Most numerals on cars were done by hand with a paint brush, but there were other methods of creating numbers on roundels. The typefaces varied by the painter.

    If you post some photos of specific numbers, I might be able to steer you in a direction for similar "fonts" that can be used to create contemporary decals.
