Two seemingly simple DVD back cover fonts

klokwerk16 April 2008 · 04:37

Hello, again.

I’ve got two seemingly simple ones here. The first, seen here as the white episode description text - should be really simple. I was told it was Futura, but I checked and it doesn’t seem to be as the “s” and capital “G” are different at least. Please can someone set me straight with this easy one?

Also, the blue episode titles: I’ve seen that font before. For the life of me however, I cannot find any fonts on my computer with that type of capital “E”. I’m sure someone knows what it is though.

Thanks in advance for your help, gurus. :)

The blue titles are Handel Gothic.

The rest looks like Helvetica Condensed (Extended for the commentary link).

Is that from season 2?

Sine this one’s been solved, i think it’s okay to get off-topic

Actually, it’s from the back cover of Season 1: Disc 4. I’m working on a thinpak conversion cover for “Razor”. A friend wants a cover that will match up with the retail covers for all the season releases.

Thanks for identifying these for me so quickly! I’ll be able to get this done now. :D

Interesting shirt there. Truly geeky to mix sci-fi, typeface names and put the result on a shirt. :)

Managed to get it done. See:

By the way, this thread can be marked as identified. Those fonts were correct.
