Ivor the Engine 22:23 - Dec 14 with 1309 viewsPhilTWTD

Not a return to Dub's thread on themes, but noticed Ivor the Engine uses the same font as the front of the Cobbold Stand.

Considering the number of goals we’ve conceded at home in 2025 I was expecting it to be Comic Sans

Which one bit the dust…..dee or dum?….(What’s App group, Nov ‘25)

Brilliant.

When the Cobbold is rebuilt, they must recreate or even simply reuse that white lettering on black that says Ipswich Town Football Club at the top of the stand.

Someone should send this to Mark Ashton, get it into the planning process.

He is of the right age to have watched the colour series in the 1970s.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

Is this why you think all train drivers just press a button and then sit back and read the paper?

For the nerds. Typeface is Volta Fett designed by Walter Baum in 1955 (I think).

So that would suggest it pre-dates Microsoft?

"font(n.2)
"complete set of characters of a particular face and size of printing type," 1680s (also fount); earlier "a casting" (1570s); from French fonte "a casting," noun use of fem. past participle of fondre "to melt," from Latin fundere (past participle fusus) "to melt, cast, pour out" (from nasalized form of PIE root *gheu- "to pour"). So called because all the letters in a given set were cast at the same time."
