What's the name of this font? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Fearless_Hyena · 03-01-2004, 02:28 PM

I'm looking for the name of the font used for the words San Andreas below. Especially because of the capital S and capital A -- I found some similar looking fonts, but not this exact typeface. Looks like an Old English font maybe. Can anyone help me out?? I'm 90% sure it's not a custom font...I've seen it before but I couldn't find it online or in any font books.

BTW I'm not talking about the words Grand Theft Auto, that font is called Pricedown, in case anyone's curious.

Thanks!!

PS this game is going to be BAD ASS, too bad we gotta wait til October!!

That's "Old English."

Yep I just loaded up a text editor and typed in SanAndreas in Old English and it's most certainly the font used, they've just done some stretching and changed the A and S a bit
