Question: Touch Tone Type?

TypeFilter: What specific typeface is used on most touch tone phone buttons? Is there a comparable free version out there?

No need to include those fonts with boxes and button shapes around the numbers.

Bell Centennial and Bell Gothic?

I have Sony and GE telephones that use Univers Condensed Italics.

Mr. Six, I think he means the font on the buttons, like this dialpad.

I can't find it though, and it's not Bell Centennial or Bell Gothic - those were for phone books. Nor is it Hawthorn, which was the font for the Western Electric logo. Hrm. I'll ping some telco buddies.

You think it would be easy to find such a recognizable font, right?
