I am looking for a true type font that is similar to those wonderful hand painted racing numbers of the 60's

And on the most beautiful car ever made

I know one in every ten people is a font geek so I figured I would put the hive mind to this task and see what comes up.

Bodoni is pretty close to the top picture. They are a bit narrow so (in Word) type what you want, highlight it then control+d/Advanced/scale set to 150%

That appears to be a stylized "Urge Text Black Condensed" font.

That appears to be "Pierpont Bold"

The image processor is having trouble with this one and I can't find an exact match.

Edit: "Monthly Calendar JNL Regular" I had to use a different picture but it's basically exact.

Here's the tool if you want to try.

The hint was apparently in the name of this file. Poster Bodoni

In reply to Jumper K. Balls:

Ah so it is. I kinda just did the quick and dirty from a tool I used before. I like that a lot.

I'm not really a font geek but I had a design course in lieu of a website design course in college 10 years ago. We watched a documentary called "Helvetica" where the process of creating a font was documented. It left quite the impression.
