"Speak."

The issue of the fonts that we have used arises. I, Proteus, seek to know where to obtain them, and I know that other members of the Alliance have similar questions to ask about the subject.

I call for posting of connections to the relevant fonts.

As far as the fonts used in the show, the main title sequence uses two fonts. The smaller font I know nothing about, but the larger font is called "Battlestar" and is available for free here.

The episode credits are in Eurostile Bold, which is a proprietary font not available for free anywhere, to my knowledge.

If you're asking about the fonts used on the website, that will be an admin question.

The site uses Impact and Good Times for sure. I think Futura too, but I'd have to check the native files to be sure about it. Specter is spot on about the ones in the show. They really didn't have "fonts" per say then as we understand them in our computers just pop them in and out. Chances are any modern digital version will differ ever so slightly than what's on screen. Case in point, Automan. The mondern version of the font they used for the credits is way off. So, I'm making my own that's dead-on correct. #FanBoy :)
