Anyone know what font this is? (I have more examples if needed).

unknown

It would help to have a few more upper case letters, like a G and M, if possible. Or a better closeup of the word 'forgiveness'.



unknown

Hm, I'm thinking "Men's Health" here.. Some variant of Century Condensed maybe? I have no idea what I'm talking about, Mr. Simonson should turn up any minute :-)

unknown

Here are some more



unknown

Hmm. This is tougher than it looks. At first I was thinking something like Utopia or Walbaum, but no. It does have a very Century look to it, but the R would be totally out of place in a Century face. It's more of a Baskerville R.

unknown

I don't have any bigger screenshots, as it's from a 320x240 trailer.
Here's a few more -- the ones with the "Sky" background might be different, it could be that the other screenshots' font is a compressed version of the "In 2004..." font.

This might help, too. I'm pretty sure this has been optically condensed, so I stretched out some of the samples:

rune

unknown

It kind of shares a similarity with "Latin MT", too, if you expand it a bit.

>Ok, scratch that, I have no idea what I'm talking about, heh. These kinds of fonts are something I know nothing about.

Mystery font vs. Utopia:

unknown

hmm, that seems to be close enough, or exact.

It seems... A winner is You.

unknown

No, it's not a match, but very similar. There's something maddenly familiar about the sample, though. My guess is it will turn out to be something very common. I just can't place it.

unknown

No, the serifs are slightly off, among other things.. And Mark was the one who brought up Utopia

unknown

Go for it. I'm tapped out on this one.

unknown

hmm, too bad I can't get in contact with Konami, maybe someone there would know? Although, I doubt they'd answer.
