Nonono, you’ve got it back to front, David. If
anything the Jurassic Park logo was first. It’s not
uncommon that knock-off fonts based on movie
logos pop up whenever such movies get popular.
Furthermore the African font looks like a rip-off of
Neuland Inline, not of the Jurassic Park logo.

I remember there was a site dedicated to “famous fonts”, that were in film titles and famous album covers and stuff like that…

There still is. Though, as it seems, they now only provide an ID when it’s a commercial font.
Nice move on their part (though I have to say I think some foundry must have sent them the standard cease-and-desist).

I posted the actual logo used for merchandising the film. It looks a bit more condensed than the sample above. See for yourself :D

I think it’s Kabel or Lithos or one of those.

We had this one quite recently on the Type ID Pop Quiz.
It’s Rudolf Koch’s Neuland if I’m not mistaken.

Uh oh. I’m way off again. Well it’s 6.00pm now and not so great for type id-ing too, I guess.

I don’t think it’s Neuland either.

It’s not exactly that, but Neuland certainly was the
source material to develop the movie’s title. Check
which different versions/digitizations exist. The
one by Nick’s Fonts is free BTW.

Here’s FFD Neuland Inline and Newton Inline, both
available through Fonts.com.

Edited out the link I had posted before. Yet another case of freeware not being quite so.

This font apears in some freefonts websites, named “african”, and the designer is Allen R. Walden.

in this link have the colection of fonts designed by Allen.

Sorry Josep, but that’s the link that Adriano edited
out because it’s a knock-off of a commercial font.
