Hello there!

I was searching for two things, but I wasn't able to find it - so maybe you guys can help me out?

Regarding this foto:

Two questions:
1) Do you have an idea with which filter/overlay it's possible to give the image this "retro/used" - look?
2) Do you know the name of the letter/font?

Thanks in advance for your help! Smile

Possibly just by reducing saturation and increasing contrast.

Souvenir Bold, or ITC Souvenir Bold, or OPTI Souvenir Bold

This font is fairly close: https://www.ffonts.net/Subway-Black.font?text=TMofweir look for the Subway-Black.ttf file in the zip. Put it in your Gimp fonts folder.

A retro filter? someone will probably come up with a better suggestion but the g'mic collection of filters has some in "Film emulation - Various". I used "60's faded" then adjusted the brightness.

Font has been bump mapped a little.

You might get some result - this a before after comparison. https://i.imgur.com/Gctb7u2.jpg Needs a reddish overlay to finish.

Edit: Helps if you give the version of Gimp you use 2.8 / 2.10

Completely forgot to check the thread! Thanks a lot for your Tip. ITC Souvenir Bold worked out pretty well!
