It's been a while but I should have the pack of fonts from The Marvels, the One Per Deck should be proper now (pre X-Men), as well as the Special cards' name.

I've been doing some logo parody work and I've noticed that companies will change the kerning a lot to get a certain feel for their text. It could be true that DC's character cards are done in a similar fashion but I would imagine it'd be a tedious task to manipulate each one.

Oh you found Fiendstar (I think that's the one for the special card name)? Awesome. And yeah, doing it manually was incredibly tedious and there isn't really any way to automate it. Does your font access include the DC stuff?

Either way, looking forward to downloading it whenever you get a chance to round it all up, no rush.

I was a bit off with Fiendstar, notice that the B is not lined up properly. Plus Fiendstar was created in 2005/6 and clearly newer than OverPower.
No DC/Image stuff since the priorities were to gather fonts for The Marvels project.

The Special card name font is from the Swiss 721 family. I'll have more info and a link next week when I'm occupied with OverPower starting from Tuesday.

I found the DC font before, so I'm sure I can do it again. If/when I find it, I'm gonna try to have a friend with font making software see if the kerning issue can be fixed or at least made less obvious. That should make it at least a little more usable to everyone, but it will still probably be fidgety.

Corrections..

Swiss 721 BT is what I used for the One Per Deck/attribution line/Special Code for The Marvels. Black Condensed for OPD, Light Condensed for the other two.
The special text is a font called Optima.

I have a font called Quebec for some reason, not sure why it's there but I probably used it somewhere.

Link via PM to you Onslaught.

This thead looks very interesting.
Any clue about Locations fonts?

Most use the Rundfunk Plain font.

I might have found a replacement for the ENERGY/FIGHTING/STRENGTH/INTELLECT typeface:

Though, I don't seem to have access to it.

Fiendstar is the probable candidate, but the design date of 2006 skews that assumption.


Humanist 777 Bold is pretty solid now.

There should be no more questions about which fonts I used, unless I update them.
