Being a grandpa is more fun than working
Has a bit of Art Deco flavor, for sure.

The Bedford TK was produced in the 1960s and 1970s. This would mean that the badge used, if it was created from a font, would have been created using the typographic technology of the time ... probably film. Digital type, as we know it today, was invented in the 1970s by URW and did not become widespread until after the introduction of the Apple Macintosh line of computers, the Adobe Postscript language and the Adobe Type 1 and Type 3 font formats in the mid to late 1980s.
For the typeface to be available in digital form, it would have to have been digitized by someone and published commercially. This was not the fate of many typefaces used in the pre-digital period of the manufacture of Bedford automobiles. This would be especially true for Art Deco styles that were being replaced by more popular styles. An automated search of my database turned up nothing close. It is doubtful that there is a digital font available that matches the Bedford badge.
