Title: Serenity mystery font...can you help me?
Post by: Input Nirvana on Fri, 03 May 2013, 21:52:07

This is a font I'd like possibly use for custom keycaps...


Any chance someone may know something about it? It's from the movie "Serenity" it is shown at about 77 minutes into the movie.

Let me look through my 22,000 or so fonts... it looks familiar.

You can find similar fonts on dafont.com in the sci-fi section. I doubt you will find the exact same font anywhere, it's probably a logo made for the film, not really using a font in terms of a whole set of characters that you can somewhere download.

Made it to letter O and most similar font so far is BionicKid

Thanks! I doesn't need to be exact, very similar is fine. I'm just toying with the idea, not sure where I'll go with it. It's very similar, same style, close enough for my general idea/purpose. I'll play with it :)

I was originally going to have Klingon letters used on a Kinesis Advantage. No, I don't recognize the individual letters or speak Klingon, just thought they looked fun on my custom Kinesis. I still may do this, maybe with WASD Keyboards.

I've been going through my fonts lately looking for some interesting ones to potentially use for dyesub groupbuy coming up. I figure some people may be interested in some other things besides bubbly sans Cherry like.

The bionic kid font seems almost identical: http://www.dafont.com/search.php?q=bionickid&text=research%2Brescue , except for the shadow effect.

Slight differences....for instance the legs on the A, R, etc, are extended opposite on opposite side...but functionally/virtually the same.
