Anyone know what type of font this could be?
Or how to create this type of font?

[MackemX]

is that the original picture source?

[Supreme2k]

That's the Transformers font.



EDIT: you guys posted while I made that for reference

[Denvers Dawgs]

yes that is from the original source. I am trying to duplicate the font so I can add more letters/words.

[Denvers Dawgs]

You are me new best friend Superme2k...Thanks

[Bodyslide]

Thanks for the Link... I enjoy using different fonts...

Anyone have any other sweet font sites, that don't bombard you with pop ups. I went to one the other day and WHAM!!! 5 pop ups, so I just left the site and never even checked what they offered....

[Supreme2k]

blambot.com has some pretty cool ones.

I have a good popup blocker, so I can't really tell which ones have them.

[Denvers Dawgs]

Slight problem. I have download, then unzipped and placed them into the Windows FONT folder, but they don't appear in any programs? Just the same ones that have always been there. What do I need to do to have them appear in say Photoshop/Paint/and word?

[Supreme2k]

Do they show the little "Installing Font(s)" process? If not, they aren't installing, so they won't show up in your programs.

Usually, I oen up the archive, open a window for windows\fonts, then just drop the file (.ttf) into the font folder

[Denvers Dawgs]

Thats what I did. I opened zip file, the dropped the fonts in to wondows/fonts and nothing happened? I just tried it again and when I drop the fonts into the folder nothing happens they just go into the folder with no installation?

I figured it out. I was just throwing them into the C:/Programs/windows/fonts folder. When I went to start settings fonts they installed thanks for all your help.

You guys may also want to check out the What the Font if you're trying to narrow down a font. Some fonts are pretty easy to tell but then when you get down to a lot of the normal block fonts it can get pretty hard to tell. I use the above site to verify fonts when clients don't know what they designed in quite often.

ok what I've noticed is that the Transformer font that I posted isn't really just block fonts. They are kind of like diamond shaped and have edges, shadows, and creases? anyone know how to get it to look like that?

Here are a few more examples of what I'm looking for:

[rallynavvie]

Those are likely just effects placed over the fonts. If you were to drop them into Illustrator and convert the fonts to outlines you could bevel/emboss them to get them to look like that. See how the light/dark spots on them look to be shared between adjacaent letters? I don't think that's just the font that's doing that. It makes things a little bit more complicated to have to do that though.

[Denvers Dawgs]

ok thanks for the info rally, I guess I'll have to spend time in photoshop and see if I can replicate them.

Free fonts, 0 pop-ups, exact link to files, no bullshit.....really . http://instant.coffeecup.com/content/fonts/

[hech54]

The Genesis Fonts(the band Genesis) are cool to experiment with too....

[Denvers Dawgs]

Anyone know what I should be looking for in photoshop to create that creased diamond look?
