Font originally used by Escape (2003-2007)
I know Donna has provided the current font for today's builds in a previous post or 2, but I was wondering if anyone knows what Escape used for the font for the original trailers (built 2003 - 2007) - it is the ALL CAPS font ("I don't know why we are yelling?!?" lol)? We will be naming our current 2005 Escape and would like the font to match.
We can also reach out to Escape - but since their office is closed until Tuesday, and we are impatient to get things going  , I thought I would reach out here first! Thanks!!
Happy Thanksgiving to all Canadian Escapees!

Suggest you do the opposite of matching. If it's a sans face, choose a serif that you like that looks good with it.

IF you can post a straight-on really clear pic, I'll see if I can match it.

Hummm, I'll look but not hopeful. Looks like a handwritten font. Notice the differences in the two E

Okay, got it. But if you want an exact match you'll need to skew or modify the last E...or maybe that's just a distortion from the camera?

Donna, I’ve seen posts where you have done this before. With the number of fonts created in the last 4000 years, that’s pretty impressive.

I started my working career more than fifty years ago as a typographer. I have more than 5,000 fonts in my personal library. IMHO fonts are an art form! Glad to help anytime I can.

Not only that she did it, but noticed the 2 E’s, and did it in 29 minutes.

Sweet!! Thank you very much Donna!!
The second "E" is like that on the trailer - either someone was having a sideways day at Escape in December 2005 - or our trailer was the last to be built before the Christmas holidays and the graphic installer threw it on before going on holidays
