I don't know if there is a matching font, but this is EngraverGothic BT with a contour for thickness and then a cover to fill in the "R" done in CorelDraw.

I think the "R" needs to be worked on but that could be done pretty easy.

Client doesn't know his/her own font?

It's that squared-off "R" that makes it a little tougher. Yours is round like most.
I'm just a little surprised that someonme would have a picture of cut and partially weeded text, but not have made a note of the font they used (assuming it's been converted to outlines or curves and isn't a fony any longer)

That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

I so agree......

I just noticed the "R" may not have been weeded yet so it may not even need to be closed.  I guess we'll know

Thank you all for your help and input.

So yesterday the customer called me asking if I can do one shirt with a number for a volleyball team's "Libero" (they get a different color jersey) they or the other place forgot for a game on Saturday. I thought easy enough, so I sent a proof with the number on the back of a shirt saying if they sent a picture of the jersey I might be able to match the font used. The customers mother calls later and says it needs to have "Keller" on the back to match and says she will send a picture. That is the picture I got! My first thought is why can't the place you went to make the jersey? And why would they send the customer a picture of partially weeded vinyl?

Either way I produced it, they have it for the game, and are happy. Sometimes it makes you wonder!

The question is, with all the back and forth for 1 jersey did you bill enough?  That's a rhetorical question, just there to make you think.  I am not a same day shop.  I had a good contract customer drop an order off at 4:25 Wednesday and asked if they could be done on Thursday by the end of the day.

I diplomatically said no, inside I was so ticked off.  They knew this order was coming in the week before.  I get ZERO notice until 24 hours before the team leaves for a trip.   We had already planned to relevel the press and do maintenance.
