Title: Micro Machines - Game Boy - Text Font
Post by: tylerbgood on May 29, 2017, 03:32:05 PM
I'm hoping maybe someone knows the font for the legal text on the back of this box. I'm pretty sure I've seen it on Nintendo boxes before, but a cursory look around the Game Boy page on the main site didn't provide any examples. I found a few that came close using whathefont and fontsquirrel but nothing exactly right. Thanks!

That's exactly it! Thanks Sheep2001, that allowed me to finish up my cover.

Much like the Galaxian cover I recently posted, I'm looking for feedback as to whether this cover is of a good enough quality to warrant submission to the main site. Your consideration and feedback is most appreciated.

That's good enough for me, I'm going to upload it and see what happens. Thanks, Sheep.

Alright, another Game Boy game, another mystery font. This time it's the description text on the back of Micro Machines. At first I thought it was something in the Futura family, maybe Condensed Medium, but it's slightly different. I tried submitting it to fontsquirrel and myfonts but nothing seemed 100% right.
Thanks for the help, I want to get it right so I can submit it to the main site when I'm finished.

It took some experimenting, but I'm pretty sure the font is Univers. So without further ado, here's my cover for Micro Machines. I'm hoping to upload it to the main site, but wanted to post it here first for peer review. Thanks for looking!
