Does anyone know what the "font" is called for the rego plates!
TIA

I seem to recall it was designed specifically for the NZTA (LTSA then),

Yes touchy subject my niece did a school assignment on NZ number plates and they won't tell you what the font is, specially made for them

Same font as Europe! So computer recognition can check plates.

It has changed recently, the new plate font is different to what it was a few years ago.so there are 3 different fonts on current nz plates .

Font is NZ-specific, designed specifically for LTNZ (at the time). It's unique to NZ, no other country uses it. It's not public domain.

ok thanks all, I'll settle on Helvectia CY, it looks very similar to the previous font.

would have thought Tag extreme would be closer

hmmm, don't see that one.

I downloaded the exact font that is used on the latest plates about a year back. Ill have a look on my hear drives to see where it is. As a previous poster said, it was specifically designed for the plates so was tricky to find. Cant even remember how I found it now.
