About Fonts...

Post by Deus ex Machina » Sun May 16, 2004 12:54 am

I know this is one we haven't discussed before, I'm hoping some of you photoshop savy members can tell me this. What is the font used for the DBZ and DBGT DVD covers?

The Z lettering is sorta sharp and curvy, while the GT font is reall wide and block type I guess. Does anyone have a good idea what these fonts are called, and where I might get them?

Not a clue... what I'm more concerned about is what the font is for the Japanese manga logo (it's the same font for both the original and kanzenban versions). It looks kind of like Impact, except that the rounded letters are more square and the lowercase "r" hooks over... and I've seen this all over the place. Hell, Viz even uses it for its Shonen Jump line of manga! So... what the heck is it!?! :?

You could check 1001fonts, they may have what you're looking for. If they don't, it's not on the net.

I've checked out a few sites, but didn't find anything comparable. I'm almost certain that FUNimation and Viz bought custom fonts, meaning they won't be available unless someone copied them.
