Looks hand drawn. The different vertical stroke widths on the "D" and the shape of the "S" look unpolished.

I have been looking at fonts for over 30 years and looks like nothing I recall. Would not be too difficult to recreate. Beautiful storefront.

Yes, it is a sign rotulacionamano have restored/copied to substitute an old sign, and yes it is handdrawn originally.
.
My question was not exact, what I meant was:
From what font is it created/ what font is the best to start with to create, the other letters I need to make a new sign with more/other letters than those but in the same style ?
I need a C and an R, the F I may figure out [Cool]

Since it's been determined that the original is hand drawn, who can tell you that your C, F and R aren't perfect mates?

You haven't even began drawing them, and I'll tell you right now....they are perfect! [Applause]

Stein...If it wasn't winter time and if I wasn't very cosy warm in Mexico, I'd fly to Norway and teach you how to digitise that simple alphabet!!!!

And have a few drinks with you too!!! We haven't talked for a few years buddy.

If you wish, I am quite willing to digitise and create a whole alphabet that resembles that one. From Mexico.

Norway in January sounds way too cold for this old dude.

Thanks for the puntuation code page.
.
Dave, your are a true genius and a very kind friend, and yes letterville is a wonderful place.

If I were to draw this letters I would have drawn them line by line, curve by curve, serif by serif; Dave showed me a whole new way of doing it and it is not just a lot easier, it may also cut the time consuption by 90 %.
.
You schould start as a teacher Dave !

Stein & Dave, why don't you just Skype? Dave can share his screen with stein and show him the steps while he talks him through it. I do this with my Artcam trainer all the time.
