OT: Font Identification Help Needed..
 
Hello, All

I need help in identifying the font used in the Malfador Machinations Logo. Does anyone here know what font this is?

I hope this mystery can be solved.

Thanks in advance, Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Wow. I thought for sure I could find this in my extensive font collection, but it's not there. He may have had it designed for the project or built it himself with a ttf creator.

Try emailing my fellow "font-geek:" robin@dreamerdesign.com

I'm getting close, it seems that the font used is in the 'Celtic','Uncial', 'Calligraphy' branch of fonts. I found some close fonts but they had tails on the letters.

..the hunt continues...

All I know is that this font did not exsist in 1976 and that this document was created not on a type writer, but on a computer. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Try visiting Identifont: http://www.identifont.com/

This is a fairly comprehensive reference for identifying computer fonts. There is the possibility that it's a custom job of course... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Been there done that, even uploaded a sample of the font and the closest it found was Times New Roman. I don't think their criteria is very well filtered. I also took the time to scan ALL the fonts at myfonts.com... no match found.

Yes I have sent an e-mail to aaron.

AT, Thanks, I'll limit my search to modern tmes. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Prove it! We demand proof that this is indeed the font.
