Help with Fonts for display plaques please!

[ReelClones]

Does anyone know what font is used on MR plaques or alternatively can suggest a good looking one they have used themselves? I cant seem to find one that would look 'right' with all the MR items in my collection!

the MR font is trajan pro.

Since this thread is here; Gatorbait, do you know what font is used for Equilibrium? Especially the font on the movie posters.

 

[GATORBAIT9696]

not off the top of my head, let do some homework

Since we're talking fonts. How about this? Not the cans the sign. I got the cans.

Found this http://www.equilibriumfans.com/themes.htm#Fonts

but you might already know about this. Best I could do.

... Wow. I actually did not know about that because when I was searching for the font, I was using stuff like "Equilibrium Font" or "Equilibrium movie font" and that fansite never popped up in my searches.

Thanks for the help Panther. It was right under my noise too, since I have that site bookmarked.

Thanks but no joy.

actually looking at it again again, I wouldnt be surprised if it was a handmade sign... the C's and E'c vary slightly, and "bat sprays" definately looks drawn on.

 

[GATORBAIT9696]

i can't find the font it does not match up to anything I have. the spacing of the letters in sprays definitely looks done by hand

Yep, I think I am just going to draw it up myself. Can't find anything close.

Try checking your local hobby/craft store or home improvement center for die cut vinyl lettering.

As for fonts, try one of the following fonts for the top line.

Benton Sans Extra Compressed Black (or Bold)
Franklin Gothic Extra Condensed

I also like ITC Franklin Condensed/Compressed Black/Bold as well.

Using a combination of letters from all of the fonts and you should get very close to what you want.

Thanks to all but I ended up just drawing it myself.

from this

I made a few "artistic" choices to match the cans, I am doing.
