Hello.
I am making a vault suit for Halloween this year.
Does anyone know which font is used for the numbers on the back of the suit?
Thanks,
Dan

I'd probably go with a Standard Times New Roman Font. of course. All you need is 101 in this exact font. :wink_smile:

It's a san serif font, don't use Time New Roman that's a serif font. I don't know the exact font but I would just redraw it with an image of one of the screen captures here:

Heya Dan,

Try to get the cleanest straight on shot you can of the lettering on the suit and take it here-

You beat me to it ShadowHider.
"What The Font" is a VERY useful site.

I didn't really want to start a new topic and waste space when I could just ask this question here, it's basically the same question.

What's the font used for the terminals?

Hello!
Thanks for all your help everyone.

I remembered WhatTheFont jsut seconds after I posted. What a monkey!

Anyway, the vault suit font is very similar to (but not exactly) these...
Tw Cen MT Condensed Extra Bold (I think this is the font used for the game logo, but the numbers in it are slightly different to the ones on the vault suits)
http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/larabie/monofonto/monofonto/ (the number 1 is very similar in this font)
http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/tilde/geometr-706/black-condensed/
http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/parachute/pf-din-text-cond-pro/medium/

The problem I'm having is that I want to do a Vault 13 suit, as I have been playing Fallout since the first game. :fallout:
The 1 is not a problem (plenty of those on the Fallout 3 suits).
It's the 3 that's giving me aggro. :(

The original vault suit had an angular 3, as you can see http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault_Dweller.
The fonts used in Fallout 3 do not. Bad continuity! (Did I mention that I am anol?)

I spent most of last weekend drawing the number 3 to try and get a good hybird.
Which one do you think is the http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/3572/13sn.jpg?

Oh, and I have no idea what the termianl font is. It's probably a fairly standard font (like System) rendered out at low res to look old school.
Have a look on http://www.dafont.com/ in the http://www.dafont.com/bitmap.php and you are sure to find a good match!

Thanks,
Dan
