font savvy ?

[bobby_hamill]

I have been looking for a font where the upper and lower case fonts are identical the only difference is the height.

Example the lower case "A" looks the same as the upper case "A" it is just the lower case height difference

Any font suggestions ?

Thanks

Bobby

do you have an image of it? What the font might help.

the image is to badly degraded to use the font search by image.
And I have searched through railroad fonts by image and name of railroad

I've worked with a logo that runs that way, and it's just a 20 percent larger type (in that case) for the leading letters in whatever font it's in.

I think I stumbled across the correct font as it is called alegreya sc only the "W" is different and
I will half to do some fudging on the "W"

What I was doing was recreating the instruction sheet that is glued to the inside of a model 222
Western Railroad Supply Company Railroad Crossing Gate Bell.

I think your result turned out great! Just as an aside, that style of font is referred to as 'small caps' You can apply it to nearly any font and it will give you the result that you see in the logo.

BTW, I think the following font is a better match for the larger sans serif font in the sign:

The C, J, and G are much better matches to the original than the font used. Not a big deal, but if you want to get as close to the original as possible, I think it's worth a look.

Here's a sample of Poppins compared to the original: (the font used in the reproduction has a J with a descender, and the counters of the C are more rectangular than in the original font)
