I'm trying to print some pieces with GCR numbering & naming on them and can't find what font the GCR used anywhere, other than saying it's a serif one. Has anyone got any ideas what it might be (thinking like a Microsoft Word font). It's specifically for a rake of 1910 Barnums.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the font on the original signs inside 1900-1923 GCR/GNR era Nottingham Victoria also looks different (see first and tenth photo https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/history/gallery/rise-fall-nottinghams-victoria-station-6628761), so what was this one?

Finally, if it's different again, any idea what typeface was used on GCR locomotives, specifically a Robinson Class 8B 4-4-2?

Would like to get as much modelling accuracy as I can so getting the exact fonts would be brilliant.
