Anyone know what type of font is used for the writing on the back of the SNES Cartridges?

Not sure, but its some kind of italicized sans-serif. The capital G doesn't have an outer line on the bottom right, and the curves on the S and C extend slightly, instead of cutting straight off. The The U has no staff, either.

Its not Helvetica, because that font family has stems on the capital Gs, and straight legs on the R. I tried a few searches on Identifont, but no matches came up.

There are repro stickers hosted on the site if that's what you're looking for.

I also made my own in a different style, too.

I'm actually trying to remake the sticker that goes under the power switch on the SNES.

The one that says:

"Power Switch must be off before loading or removing a Game Pak"
