Question F-150 LARIAT TRITON -- font?

So does Ford use its own special font for the exterior badges on our truck? Does anyone have a name for this font? It's close to Eurostyle, but not exact. Can anyone close to and/or inside Ford get this info? Having the font name would be appreciated. Getting a spec sheet (alphabet) of the font would be great! I know it's a shot in the dark, but figured I'd ask.

I've been trying to figure this out for a while now. So I would like to know also.

The folks at Billet seem to have it down...have you seen the custom billet badges?

I did the cheesy thing, took a photo, traced it, made an .eps file out of it. I have the F-150, and 5.4 TRITON. I'm going to get some stripes made up for the sides of the hood with the 5.4 TRITON. I'd be willing to e-mail those to anyone interested...

I emailed www.BilletBadges.com before posting here. They said it's close to EuroStyle/EuroStile ... but not exactly. Upon Googling Eurostyle, I found Oloron ... which may be even closer.

Acutally I do not think it is a font. (Although some may be close) Its most likely a vector image. Very easy to duplicate with the right software.

The billet badge font doesnt match the font of the factory badge very well, imho. Although it may be because i'm not used to seeing different text there. It just looks too different for me. I'm pretty sure that there isn't a set "font" for this and i dont know how you would create one.
