Hi Jim,

I am quite sure.... Continuum bold has been around in other typesetting
formats for decades. It just wasn't a mass-market release until 2002.

Happy trails,

Hi Roger,

The font is called Continuum Bold.

I discovered this fact in 2001, just a week after I digitized and
retraced the WESTFAKIA logo for the back of my camper using Adobe
Illustrator.

Happy trails,
