Title: Anybody know the Space Invaders CPO font?
Post by: dfwpiper1 on January 28, 2014, 09:57:46 pm

Hi everybody!

I have a fairly dumpy SI Deluxe cab that I think I'll fix up for mame. I'm photoshopping the CPO around more controls, but trying to keep to the original feel as much as possible. I'm just wondering if anybody knows what font is used for "Laser Base Control" and "Start Game" and all that?

Thanks!

Never y'all mind. I'm good. Looks like "Geom Graphic Bold" is a darn close match, if not the actual font. Now if I can find it without having to pay $120 ...  :dizzy:

Yeah I usually just peruse the free font sites to find the closest match. You'd be surprised what you can find out there.
www.dafont.com (http://www.dafont.com) is usually the first place I look.

FontSpace has one called Cosmic Alien ( http://www.fontspace.com/freaky-fonts/cosmic-alien (http://www.fontspace.com/freaky-fonts/cosmic-alien) ) that looks fairly close for Free Download for private use.
