cent font

#1 Unread post by DSCoins »

This might be case of me seeing what I want to see, compared to what it really is. I was going threw my plastic cent holders, just to see if I had missed something in the past as I just received my new usb microscope. The new one is 100% better than my old. So my question is, looking at font for the 5 in the 1952 appears to be different then the 1951 and 1953 D. Like I said, it might just be me wanting it to be something it really isn't.

1952 was the year for the "pointed" 5 but the fonts can vary a bit from year to year or more so decade by decade.

It seems very cool to me and in general, I love to discover and always use new fonts in my projects at university and at work because something special and beautiful always comes out and I can be proud of my works. Lately, I have often started using thinking of betty font and I really like it because it is something unique. Did you use this font? I am just curious because in my university people don't know about it and always ask me where I have it.
