Hi all,
I'm doing some modeling in Max, creating some childrens' letter blocks for a scene, and I'm not sure as to what font to use for the "letters".
Here is an image of the letter blocks I'm referrencing:

Any ideas what font that might be - or a font that would be a close simile?
Thank you so much for your help

anything nice and 'blocky' would work. (sorry, bad pun.)

One of those blocks (the one with the C) is ITC American Typewriter. Clarendon and similar fonts would be fairly archetypal.

I was actually gonna contribute a suggestion for once and say Clarendon but i'm too slow. :D Good luck!

I had a set of blocks like this when I was a kid that had Cooper Black on them.
