Probably the exact fonts you're after aren't digitized and lost to time.

I'm late to replying but thanks for this! I ended up just winging it. Most of it ended up as various Franklin Gothics with the Kan-Tro-Lite as a Tavern Open that I modified in a few spots.

The line weight on the K, T, and L should be the same as in the smaller letters.

If you see something suspicious, bomb it!

is it just me or is every single thing right now in a big chunky seventies serif font? don't get me wrong – that's my favorite poo poo right there – but it's become really ubiquitous. I guess after years of nothing but sans serifs and cutesy handwritten fonts, big chunky serifs were bound to make a comeback. But drat it's like every single thing I see now.

Whoa, is that some sort of extra weight version of Cooper Black?

It is New Kansas Heavy. I just came across this typeface and fell in love because it's just Cooper but in 8 weights.

Are there any lesser known creative markets that sell/list fonts?

That could potentially encompass a large number of things, but makes me think of https://velvetyne.fr/ this place, which came up in the PMF Fonts thread that I have been neglecting to shepherd but will plug here.

Just want to make sure people know that if you pay for Creative Cloud, even at the $10/month Photoshop and Lightroom tier you get full access to Adobe Fonts which is easily the best value service they offer. Thousands and thousands of professional grade fonts with commercial licensing, though the interface does suck rear end.

Hey, font-thread. Got this place recommended in the small questions Ask/Tell thread.

I would like to do a small project for personal use (gift for a friend) that uses this image from an episode of Futurama:


I want to make a larger, higher-quality, version of the "Boring Geology Lecture" sign/image to turn into either a sticker or two, or just like a high-res print.

I will likely have to do that myself, but it's a simple enough design that I feel confident I can recreate in an editing program. I'm not a skilled graphic designer, but I think I can do two piecesof curve text, vertical text, and two vertical lines.

But the sticking issue is the font. I went to whatthefont.com and it suggested it's Posterama Pro 1933 which does seem close... not perfect, but likely close enough but it's listed there at $40 (Although I'm assuming WhattheFont is trying to overcharge me and it might be cheaper elsewhere or part of, like, an Adobe CC package?)



I just have regular Posterama on my machine, and it's not good enough, the lines are too thin, IMO.

So I guess two-fold question:
1) Does that indeed look to be Posterama 1933 Black
and 2) What's the easiest/cheapest way to get that font (or whatever font is actually is)

Thanks!

Imo looks hand lettered - it’s really uneven, feels kind of inconsistent.

I think you can get a reasonable approximation with Tourmaline Bold, especially if you’re willing to edit a couple letters like that C:

You could pay a goon in sa-mart or someone on fiverr not much money to just upscale that bit too

Probably for just this ONE game. I'd bet it goes back for Y8.
