I’ve been asked by a friend if I knew but I can’t find the name for the font used by the Royal Navy, the British Coastguard, and Customs/Excise.
I know that they are standard to each service but other than the laborious task of comparing each font to the letters and numbers painted on the hulls does anyone know what the name of the font used?
Many thanks

The RN has issued over the years details of the size and placement of pennant numbers etc. but I have never found a defence standard which actually states the font type.  I've attached what I have gleaned over the years. BECC & Fox Transfers both do RN pennant sets.

Sorry but they refer to fonts used official documents etc.

There are five typefaces used by the NMRN and it's consitituent museums: Frutiger, Compacta, Arial, AR Techni and Arno Pro Display. Arial and Arno Pro Display are used for web only. Frutiger is the preferred typeface. It should be used whenever possible throughout all communications.
