Fuzz Face Font?

Post by garbage mouth »

Anyone have any idea what font is used for the 'VOLUME' and 'FUZZ' text on Fuzz Faces?

I already found the logo (which is Staccato 222 BT, for those wondering) and I've now moved on to the two I asked about.

I've included a (massive) photo below. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Is there some kind of font lovers forum somewhere?

I'd bet people who're really into fonts'd be able to tell you no problem.

Good suggestion, that's my next step actually. I assume with the popularity of DIY Fuzz Face builds, someone would've asked this already. It worked for the main text of the pedal.

I've seen suggestions of Helvetica, but it's not it. Looks close, though.

To say it's like Helvetica is like saying a tele is like a strat.
You want to speak to a graphic designer or a typographer.. I was one of them, it's Microgramma or Eurostile - the two are very similar. Probably medium or semi bold.

i know the answer to this question as i have used it once before! let me check photoshop!

edit - ah I thought you meant the fuzz face logo haha, I see you have that!

the other font is either Waukegan LDO or Futura or something similar, its quite thick so probably Bold.

I'm going to agree with stickleback on the microgramma/eurostyle thing.

whatthefont.com is awesome, it's saved me many many times.

Just get your font into B&W and lined up on a horizontal plane, then save as a GIF or JPG. Whatthefont.com will do the rest
