Classic Barnum font
Does anyone know where I can find the Barnum Classic font like the one in the Gemini catalog, someone installed those letters on his building
and now he wants me to duplicate it in vinyl, not what I would have used but his money is green and I want it.
Thanks for any help Bill Masters.

I have never been a fan of no-shot, I have been using Ronan Bulletin colors since the early 1980's.
