"Starcade" credits font
« on: July 21, 2004, 05:03:06 PM »
Does anyone know the name of/where I can get the font used in the Starcade credits? I need it for a site I'm working on.

It's very similar if not identical to the font on the bottom of this license plate, where it says "North Carolina":

Hmmmm.......I have 2500 fonts in my computer, and I'm not sure if I have this one.  I know it's pretty standard since TBS used it for its' old WCW show.

I have a similar font on my computer called Madison Avenue. It's not as bold, however.
This space intentionally left blank, until the part of my brain responsible for humor decides to function again.

 Ah, that's it! Make it bold and you've pretty much got the font.

Thanks!

 I believe the actual font name is Advertising Gothic.

Here's a sample from the Infinitype website.  It's a little bolder than the font on the license plate, but looks like it a little more than the more commonly available light version (which I saw on Fonts.com as "Advertising Gothic Light").
