Where can I find a font similar to the one used in the logo for the new season of Project Runway?

Question

I would like to find a font similar to that of the "5" used in the logo for the new season of Project Runway. It looks like some type of stitching but I can't find anything like it. Here's a link to the Project Runway homepage with the new logo on it:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

That 5 is a special effect applied over a font - which I am 99.9 percent sure is Futura in a medium weight. The font used in the "Project Runway" is Futura as well.

There is no "yarn" Futura that I know of. Perhaps you could print it out large on thick paper, sew over it, and then scan it to get that effect? Not all graphic design needs to be done on a computer. :)

Futura is standard on new Macintosh computers. Here is the wikipedia page for it which has links to where you may acquire it, otherwise.
