In Nomine Font?
Is the font that was used in the book titles and subtitles avialable anywhere? I just love it!

What is the name of that cool headline typeface? Is it public domain? Where did you get it? The name of the typeface is "Skreech Caps". It is not public domain and was created by the [T.26] type foundry in Chicago. SJG bought it through Precision Type Inc., of Commack, NY. As far as we know Precision Type doesn't have a webpage, but their phone number is 1-800-248-3668 if you want to order something from them. T.26 currently offers Skreech Caps for both PC and Mac, at $29 for either version or $43.50 for both. (NOTE: Link is http://www.t26.com/fonts/372-Skreech-Caps) Some similar typefaces that resemble Skreech Caps can be found at Fonts for Freaks at http://www.gothic.net/~tygre/.

Re: In Nomine Font?
Thirty bucks ain't much for a font. I bought it just to use on my own character sheets...
(EDIT to add: But I hate the lowercase S, and apparently somebody at SJG does too, as the uppercase S is used even in words that have lowercase letters in them in several publications. I'm trying to figure out a way to edit the font file so it shares the same baseline with the other letters...) |

I will admit, when I first saw IN in a game store, the font had caught my eye and added gravitas to the game. It's even more pleasing when used with Latin -- the "Liber" series of books have easily some of the coolest looking and sounding titles in RPG-dom.

Re: In Nomine Font?
I was searching the archives when I saw this. You know, I put together an In Nomine character sheet that I'm rather proud of. The only problem is, it's still in Word Format...
Anyone know where this .doc file can get some love?
