Hello again,

Does anybody have the font used on the BBC Sport scoreboards? If you do, please email me at bpdavidseymour@gmail.com

Here is an example...

I think I'm right in saying it's Univers Bold Condensed which is pretty widely available if you have a bit of a search for it.

It's equally as much Zurich as it is Univers, Zurich is just another slightly less nice sounding name for the family from **** Bitstream and their clone font jobs. Essentially your Swiss to your Helvetica.

I'd love to know what that font is actually called.

Univers. Really, first distributed by Monotype and then cloned and given away by Bitstream.

Eitherway, same difference but don't trust it if it's Truetype, that's a clone!
