Well, I tried a search, and once I came up with 6 unrelated threads, and once I came up with 15 pages…
Hopefully a very simple question: what’s the font used in the Street Fighter logos? One font (and a few variants on it) are used in just about every game from SF1 and SF2 to SPF2T, XMVSF and SF3. So what is it?
Here are a couple of ones that are similar: Informal Roman, Biffo MT, Brush 738, Zombie Guts Yanked Italic and Rapier. Which one of these looks the most accurate to you guys? And does anybody know of a closer one?
It can’t really be a set font unless all instances of a character look identical, right? Every single “T” in each of those pictures looks different. So does the “E” and the “R”
Well, yeah. I know it’s not something they just typed out and selected from a menu. But what I’m saying is that it started out somewhere. We know it’s scalable (I’ve seen those logos on huge billboards with no pixellation). So presumably they had an original font, and then modified it during the creation of the logo, and probably pulled the glyphs about a bit after it was finished as well. It’s obviously meant to look like it was hand-drawn…
So anyway, does anybody have anything that resembles them? Any advances on Rapier LET or Brush738 BT?
Just found out that the Roost Heavy font is used on the back of Amir Khan’s dressing gown. Oh, and of course, it’s also used for some onscreen messages in an early MK game.
There was also a font named shoryuken that was used on US based SF manuals for the super street fighter logo in snes but ist not the same with the SF2 logo used in the games
