[Coco] 1980s Tandy-Style Font?

I'm working on a badge for a CoCo 3 case that I have a Spartan 3
CoCo3FPGA in. I want to replace the 128K Color Computer 3 placard with
one that says: FPGA CoCo / / / Spartan 3 Edition, or something like
that. I plan to print it on a clear label sheet and stick that on a
thin sheet of aluminum. I'd like to find a free Truetype font that
replicates the Tandy typeface used at that time. I'm aware of Larabie's
Crystal Radio Set font, which is really nice, but is more '60s - '70s.
I guess it would match a CoCo I. I'll use it if I can't find anything
better, but I wondered if anybody on this list knew of something more
like the newer Tandy style.
I would also like an image of the "oblique triad" -- the slanted R, G, B
color bars -- I could reuse. If nobody knows of anything suitable,
maybe I'll try to cook one up in Inkscape.
