Default Letter height

Can I get someone to measure the height of the letters in the "SHELBY" decklid text?

Many thanks in advance.

Not at all. In point of fact, i'm specifically avoiding it. Now, do you happen to know the height of the letters?

not sure on the height, but you can use this for scale...

I'm considering having custom letters made for my own text. That's why I want to know the height of the letters. The company that will be making the letters list heights of 1 inch and 1.5 inch. I haven't emailed them yet to see if they can make other sizes, but I don't see why that can't since they allow you to specify a font, and use a water jet to cut the letters out.

I'd also be interested in knowing what font Shelby used for the letters, but that might be impossible to find out, because it might not even be a "font" as we know it. I've looked around on font sites, but haven't found anything that looks similar enough...
