I believe that this font is one called "Batman Forever", which can be found at: http://www.acidfonts.com/scifi.htm To directly download it, use this link: http://www.acidfonts.com/acidzips/batmanforever.zip (zipped TrueType font, 52k) One cannot be 100% certain that this is the exact font file that the page author used without asking him or her, but I found it to be identical in all respects, and I'm sure you'll be pleased at the resemblance. :) I also want to note that the upper and lower case characters in the font are slightly different -- they usually reverse the angle of the decorative slants. You can use this to get the exact look you desire. Search terms used: batman forever font |

Become a font detective, with this article on CreativePro.com: http://www.creativepro.com/story/feature/0,,5628,00.html Try using this nifty little Font finder utility. It requires you to upload or supply the url of a good image using this font. You might need to take a screenshot of the white title bar that is used on the site, and turn it into black text, to make it easier to read. Then it displays a list of possible suspects. http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ Similarly the Identifont requires you to answer a series of questions about your font, and gives you a list of possible matches based on your answers. It helps if you have more samples of the font, ie the whole A - Z in both upper and lowercase, as well as the numbers 0 - 9: http://www.identifont.com/ Sending a message to a designer's forum, especially one specialising in fonts, is a good idea as someone there might recognise it. http://www.myfonts.com/FontForums/list.php?f=5 You could also trawl through some of the larger free font download sites, and see if you can locate it like that. For instance: http://www.fontfreak.com/ http://www.fontpool.com/ |

Hi, I'm not sure she was asking HOW to find out what font was used. Looks like she just wants someone to find out for her and give her the answer. I pulled down View Source on the webpage and saw it was created by ryanshah@hotmail.com. Perhaps emailing him would get a response - he may remember where he got the font and where she can purchase it. |
