Fonts?

By Eunomiac, in Battlestar Galactica

I am looking into Photoshopping a few homemade props for the game, but I've been struggling to find the proper fonts. I know I've seen the fonts used on the board and cards before... anyone know what they're called?

If not, anyone have any suggestions for look-a-likes?

I'll happily share my props when I'm done. The first thing I want to make is a "Pilot" Title Card that contains the Action tags for piloting vipers. This way, I can tell my players that every action they can take is written down somewhere.

After some digging around and much help from Identifont (what a nifty little webapp..), I think I've figured them out:

  • Bank Gothic is the header font (e.g. Crisis Card names, "Pass" & "Fail," Location names, etc.)
  • Eurostyle is the body text font.

Free versions of each are available, just Google for them. Both fonts are probably the Condensed version (i.e. Eurostyle Condensed), but I couldn't find free versions of those, so I'm just scaling them manually in Photoshop.

This will be good for me to do it in spanish, i got lots of friends who doesnt know english well.

Sweet! A Pilot title card would be really sweet. Yeah, please share when you finish it as this is something I definitely would be interested in.

Thanks. :)
