Scott Specialty Pages

What font and sizes does Scott Specialty pages use?

I sent an email to Amos Publishing and their reply was "I am sorry sir, we do not disclose that information. "

Timm, I make my own pages and use Helvetica. It looks very much like Scott, if not the same. The size I use is between 8 and 12.

Does the Minuteman and Scott Specialized use the same fonts?

IDHaber: Thank you for the link.

Looks like the closest is Abril Display SemiBold.


I tried to find free fonts for it but only came up with gimmick sites.

Bodoni MT is a good match. I think I will go with that one.
Thank you.

I believe the font they use is Palatino. I know they use Times Roman Italic for the Scott numbers. I think the problem is, the font used us expanded, so each character is wider than the expected width.

Scott sent me a PDF of one sample page from a Scott Minuteman album.

Here's what I can see when I open the file and look at the fonts:

Country name on top of page: Palatino 10.5 pt Bold.

Year under country name and other text visible after stamps are mounted: Palatino 6.5 pt.

Scott number: Times Roman Italic 6.5 pt.

Here is what a Minuteman page looks like:
