Ruger Font

Does anyone know what font Ruger uses for their name? I need to embroider some names on some Ruger soft cases and the owner wants the names to be in the same font as the Ruger. I can get close but some of the characters are off.

Wondering if they use a standard font for


Does anyone know?

I don't need to embroider Ruger (that would be a copy write violation). I need to embroider names using the same font.

Swede, I tried your suggestion for him, MS Word sees it as a picture? Least that's what it said.

I got you close. Go to MS Word, type the word Ruger and change the font to Century then make it bold and change font size to like 48???


Another font that comes close is Plantagenet Cherokee, same size and again, click bold...

Only two I could see were close. It might be a custom one they or some advertising company designed and they will have a patent on it. So your best bet is to just find something close and go with that...

If you want, my brother does graphic design/advertising and I could ask him if he knows or if he can find out? LMK
