Should I scour the web for a font or is it feasible to draw this myself?
I think it is easy to do using Inkscapes "trace bitmap by color"-feature (-> import bitmap-image into Inkscape, then choose path
trace bitmap).

If you by any reason cannot find an appropriate font, I encourage you to use FontForge (fontforge.sf.net) to draw your own font. However, drawing fonts definitely requires some knowledge about fonts.

Thanks everyone, I think I'll try Adams way first (easiest learning curve). I basically dont want to offend a student graphic designer if I dont like what they do, so I'd rather do it myself.
Kind Regards,
