Datsun emblem font

Post by bradleygt60 »

I am trying to identify the Fairlady font on this emblem. Can someone tell me what font it is. TIA

The closest I could find is Belinda New Bold. (third one in the screen shot below). Looks like the emblem is a customized version of it with more slant and embellishments on the "F" and the "y".

Back when that was created....I doubt it would be anything other than a one word custom emblem scribed by hand. There wouldn't be a font set like you think in Windows or MACs.

Thanks for the replies. I was putting Miata seats in the car and the seat are being recovered. My wife wanted to have fairlady embroidered up towards the headrest. The embroidery people were able to come up with something pretty close. Thanks again for the replies Brad

Show some pictures. Sounds like a great idea your wife had. Very clever. I like it!
