(2000) French text on SlashOut texture

Question

The text reads RESTAURANT DEN RØDE OKSE The closest I found was Thunderbird (Including either bootlegged versions by ICG, or Southern Software Inc), but as seen in the second image comparing the two, even with general scale differences and image resolution being accounted for, the S is off for how thick the center is, and O/Ø requiring different width than other. This is meant to evoke a wild west vibe, and has to be a font before mid 2000

Answer 1

Your source image (top) is way too small to be of much use (and the language is Danish, not French).

Comments

Ah, my bad. A lot of other textures in the game used French, so I assumed K22 Eclair is extremely close, but the year is too new...at least first glance Looking into it, it's a revival font based on Dan X' revival attempt of an 1800s font in the 70s. So potentially there's a revival before K22's... Either way, thank you!

The historical source of K22 Eclair (and Solo’s previous Eclair a.k.a. Julie) is Bruce’s Ornamented No. 1540 from 1876. It’s likely that there was a digital interpretation of this design prior to K22’s version, but I don’t have a name.
