Looking or: VCR/VHS font

sebber27 May 2009 · 15:40

Hello fellow members of Typophile.

I am currently working on a project at uni. For this I would like to use a font like or immitating analogue VCR type, as seen in the upper left of the picture below.

You could also rephrase that to: »Which font is used in this picture?»

Thanks and bye

EDIT

Found a better picture.

Chunkfeeder is fairly similar.

Some other options are Screener and Algol. Screener probably isn't what they used exactly, but it is reminiscent of the look.

Universal Everything did something similar for channel 4

Thank you bowfinpw, aaronbell and Hibell.
