<div class="IPBDescription">NS Font</div>Hey Charlie, could you add a link to download the NS font somewhere on here?
Or specify which one you're using?

Thanks.

    When i played around a few years back, I'm pretty sure it was VERY close to Times New Roman... but just ever so slightly different.
    Times New Roman should serve you well though <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
    you could always try "whatthefont" www.whatthefont.com

    Ah, looking at it, I think the NS1 font was Times... but the NS2 font is ever so slightly different ;D
    with a tiny bit of research, I found: <a href="http://www.dafont.com/episode1.font?nb_ppp=20&text=NATURAL" target="_blank">http://www.dafont.com/episode1.font?nb_ppp...mp;text=NATURAL</a> which looks VERY similar...
    Font called: Episode1 (based on SWars) by Boba Fonts... could be the one (also has a sci-fi theme i guess)

    could also be: <a href="http://www.dafont.com/font.php?file=optimusprinceps&page=1&nb_ppp_old=20&text=NATURAL+2&nb_ppp=20&psize=m&classt=alpha" target="_blank">http://www.dafont.com/font.php?file=optimu...mp;classt=alpha</a> since the "2" in the episode1 font doesnt match

    I have always loved WhatTheFont.com, I have never known anyone else that uses it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    i ######ed around in maya text creator for about 3 hours last night and about 2 hours the day before i couldnt get it, best i could get is a unended times new roman in ward belevl.

    i can see hte phonge i can see the crater / stacco, i can see the glow. but i cant quite tell how he has thinded the core of the latters, its ether a exstrude face with a scale up or some really whacked out belevel settings, i tryed adjusting hte hight and widte and depth, but it looks like hes useing settings off the slider

    The font used in the Natural Selection logo is Minion, although at the moment that's not the font we're using for NS2.

    Thanks for the answer Max.
    I understand the need for secrecy and all, but any way we could get a font name for NS2? If not, I'll just be looking for the NS font.

    REJECTED!

    EDIT: I looked thought my (vast :S ) selection of fonts on word and found it... It's called "Trajan Pro"! <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajan_(typeface)" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajan_(typeface)</a>

    In the current NS2 logo the gaps between the letters of the word "natural" have been stretched so that the kick of the "R" doesn't touch the "A"... ...Other than that (and the 2 being massive) it looks exactly the same. Same curves and everything.

    <b>Am I right Max? Do I get a cookie?</b>

    If nothing else I would suggest using Trajan Pro as the closest match to the NS2 font, but spread out the gaps after the letter R and some other letters... mainly Q!

    <a href="http://store2.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-UK&event=displayFontPackage&code=1724" target="_blank">http://store2.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html...e&code=1724</a>

    I don’t know where else you can get it from, but I assume if you have Photoshop (where I must have got it from :S ) or another Adobe product with fonts in it you probably have it already...
