I think the logo is most likely done by hand, but the text used on the packaging of the game is not. I was wondering if anyone could ID this font. The sample contains the logo, but the ID is for the text underneath (unless someone IDs the logo as a font).

Thanks again!

Do you need to find the exact font or just a similar looking one? In any case, I would suggest Mike Yanega's Guide as a starting point.

P.S. There is a ton of fonts out there that look similar to this, and you can get one made for under ten dollars, so this may be custom.

You're right, the Logo looks hand-drawn, since no two letters are identical.

However, the lettering underneath that is a font, although as Lex suggested, this may be a personal font, since fonts based on hand printing are so cheap to make.

If this is a font I have collected I would most likely have put it in Part 14 (Strange, Distressed scripts) of the Script Font ID Guide. Part 12, that he pointed you to, is also a possibility, if you don't see it in Part 14. If you don't see it in either of those places, my advice is to pick something similar. I don't have time right now, or I would help.

Thanks for the help guys. I wanted to get the actual font for nostalgia's sake, but I think you're right in that it would've been a personal one. Anyway, thanks to those links I can find a similar one anyway. Although, if anyone manages to find the actual one, please let me know.

Also, I live in Australia, so would any of you know any places or links, that would help me in purchasing fonts or getting someone to make one of my own professionally? I wanted to get some handwriting made into a font. Wondering if it's possible for me here in Australia.

Thanks guys.

Fontifier will let you download a template, print your letters in it, scan and upload it, have the font produced and download it -- all for $9 (US). It's hard to beat that deal, although for a while they were doing it for free when it was a new service. I think if you're quick the whole process can take just minutes.

Thanks for the info Mike! I will check it out.

Thanks!

I guess this font won't be ID'ed. So I'll let it go, and try to do a scan-and-create version with one of those companies/sites. Thanks for all the help anyway, guys!
