Both letter and number seem to be san-serif. The letter A has no strokes and neither does the number 1. I typically see the A typeface used in alot of signs. It is very clean looking and legible.
I love the detail on the C. It having two main focal points really catches my attention. This typeface looks like it can be used at a clothing store. The number 3 reminds me of a number on a jersey.
I love the detail on the letter C. It looks like it has two focal points which really catches my attention. It looks like it would be at a clothing store. The number 3 reminds me of the back of a jersey.
The letter F seems to be the only serif letter. And I believe that the letter G is a san serif because it have no stroke attached on the letter. Number 5 is difficult to distinguish because it is made in blueberries but since it has no sharp edges with lines its a san serif.
I really like the lowercase “I” that you posted. The script lettering in the sign makes it appealing to look at. Also the red outline from the LED lights brings color to the letter as well which also makes it visually appealing.
The bold and modern ‘7’ typography style is excellent for signage, sports branding, or industrial design projects where clarity and strength are important. The elegant and flowing ‘j’ in golden-yellow enhances its sophistication, while its soft curves and extended loops evoke a sense of luxury and dynamism. This style is ideal for high-end branding or decorative posters, particularly in contexts such as luxury goods, events, or the entertainment industry. Lastly, the classic and weathered ‘k’ typography is perfect for vintage-themed designs, historical documents, or art projects that require a worn, traditional feel.
The letter r could be a sans serif type. It doesn’t appear to have any curves. It is all straight edge. The letter s is something you don’t really see alot. It seems to be stretched height wise. It isn’t that curved compared to the usual letter s we see. It reminds me of this mark ~
