Can anybody name this font?

[steveryan]

The font that I want (or one similar) is the one that is used in the "Vicar Of Dibley" text, any ideas? TIA.

To my eyes, it looks similar to the font from "the Prisoner". There's a "village.ttf" that might do. The "What the Font" page here might be helpful too.

Edit: Just playing around with it a little, I came up with this:



Not my greatest work, ne? You can see where some of the caps were resized to get a match.

It's more or less a Celtic style.

Try http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=403&page=1&nb_ppp_old=20&text=VICAR+OF+DIBLEY&nb_p...0&classt=alpha

You won't get an exact match, it's obviously not just typeset but been manipulated or even completely hand drawn.

But have a look at:
Ardagh
Forgotten Uncial
Livingstone
St Charles
Viking
in the above Dafont list.

One thing is the rounded style of E normally goes with a more lower-case style of D.
You could mix upper and lower case and adjust sizes perhaps.

As for naming it - sorry, no idea. Good luck!

P.S. I'm gonna guess you're a Man U fan... I'm a Hammers fan - I'll say no more... If you're not, let's grin together.

I forgot about this post because the Vicar Of Dibley was shite anyway Thanks for the replies, i'm going to make my menu over the weekend and hopefully one of the suggestions will suit.

@daamon, yes, I am a Manchester United fan, although lapsed since those bastard Glazers took over. Good luck at West Ham, i'd prefer to play you lot than the likes of Reading and Wigan. I'll never forgive you for losing to the vermin in the F.A Cup final though.

Tell me about it... It was 3am on a boozy night here in Melbourne and my mate (from Reading and a Reds supporter - what a combo!!!) was with me. I was absolutely and totally gutted...

I mean, I don't mind losing if done properly - but to go like that, to be the better team on the pitch and then to be equalised in the dying seconds. Penalties was never gone be good for us - we were too tired...

On the font front - if you find the one you're after, or something close, can you post here what it is and where you found it? I do wedding videos and it may come in handy. Cheers mate!
