Dunno how much interest this will actually be, or even if someone has already posted this (at work so can't really get away with browsing a messageboard), but I'm just sourcing fonts for work and came across this:

http://www.1001fonts.com/font_details.html?font_id=3088

Useful perhaps? It's free anyway.

Nice!

Good find.

This is a freeware font, though, it's probably a knock-off of the actual font used.

lol, why does the fact that it's a freeware font mean that it BoC must've used a commercial font for the artwork?

Well, it doesn't have to be, but quite a free freeware fonts are just copies of well-known fonts from commercial foundries that predate computerized fonts.

Like Dom Casual has knock offs "Dawn Castle", "Don Casual", "Dominican"...

It'd be good to have all the fonts in one place, so I made a wiki page for this: [wiki]Fonts[/wiki]

What other ones do we know off-hand?

EDIT: Added Bauhaus for the MHTRTC cover

"Music" was pretty def done with Bauhaus wasn't it?

2 slo.

I've got shitloads, I can probably get them all.

Actually, now I'm proper looking, I'm inclined to say MHTRTC is actually Chalet Tokyo:

And hi Scores is OCR A:

nah, the lowercase r, s, and e isn't quite right

Magic Brenda · Post by **Magic Brenda** » Wed Sep 30, 2009 5:43 pm

Yeah your right, it's def bauhaus.

Geogaddi is probably Helvetica Rounded.

These are useful for identifying fonts:

Identifont - identify a font by a series of questions based on distinguishing details
MyFonts' WhatTheFont - tries to identify a font by uploading a high-res sample
