I'm looking for the correct computer font to use to make custom decals of stenciled markings used on Army OIF vehicles. It seems to be a very specific sans-serif font that I can't quite seem to find. Any ideas where I can get the right font? Thanks!

I just found an exemple of the fonts I have: This is part of a decal I made some time ago:



Is this you are looking for?

Thanks for the offer, Marcelo. You are very kind. That font looks to be pretty similar to the one used by the US Army.

Don, thanks for the links to the font site! I found one (Stencil Gothic BE) that is also fairly close to what I'm looking for.

Thanks for the font, Marcelo. I think it's the closest one yet and will certainly fit the bill.
