Official BL Texts

Were there certain fonts that were used for their lettering, badges, signwriting etc or am I best off going for something that's period?

Cheers

When i had the lettering done for my van the graphics company said there was a mixture of fonts used for example in the word Leyland the Y was from a different font to the rest of the set simply because of the type of Y used! Got there in the end though!

Any idea what fonts they used?

Got to say I love that van. Already got the pics saved on my computer. There's something just so great about period commercials that I can't put my finger on... 8)
