Thanks Uncle Ken!

I have the Ford Script font as used on the Ford badge. How can I upload it to make it available to everyone?

Depends what model you're after, they've changed over the years.

A lot of the badges could be based on a typeface then modified so I doubt Ford have a typeface for each.

This thread has had two epic returns from the dead.

I found a font that is similar but it's much taller than it is wide.
