Short answer: Clarendon Bold.

For fun, I’m writing a little slot machine game in Java. I wanted to create some symbols to go on the reels, and one of those symbols is the number 7. And, I wanted it to look like the fancy 7 you see on slot machines, like this:

So, after some googling around, I discovered that it uses the Clarendon Bold font. Here’s what the 7 looks like in Linotype’s Clarendon Std Bold:

Think about the lettering used in classic TV shows, like I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, and Leave it to Beaver. They were fun, quirky, and lighthearted. The style is classic and fonts are still being modeled after them to this day. We’ve collected a list of premium and free mid-century modern fonts that capture the spirit of the 50s and 60s.

Here’s what the 7 looks like in Ultra:

To make my slot machine 7, I installed Ultra on Windows, fired up Inkscape, added a Text object with the Ultra font at 72 points, set a fill colour of Red, added a black stroke 1 point thick, and here’s the final result:
