ITC Avant Garde Gothic Alternate Set, they're very hard to find for free online.

You can buy them though here:

I have been looking for the font for awhile now, but to no avail. It would be super awesome if someone posted a link or something on here.

Someone should have it here considering the font is shown on this site at the top of the page.  ::)

http://famicase.com/ <-- At this website there's two fonts that I want to get but I don't know where to get, the blue one and the orange one. Someone knows where I can find it?

Btw, I found a very cool website, with fonts inspired in famicom games :

I can't offer what you asked for, but here's a nice Dragon Quest-esque font:

Hi, still nothing with this famicom fonts case? I just got back from a couple-of-hours-long-trip-over-the-internet searching for them (or close to)...

I have seen the red one somewhere, it's a commercially available font.  Take a look at any rock band packaging, notice anything familiar? :)

As far as I know it's the same one that game and watch used.  I'll keep an eye out and see!

Also, some people have linked to it as ITC Avant Garde Gothic Alternate on here and other sites - it's similar in parts but that really isn't it.

Closest I ever found was this:

Several days ago I bought this shower gel that seemed to share the same styled font as the Journey to Silius cart:

Anyone know where I can get this kind of style?  It's awesome! ;D

There's a font like that called "Computer", but it's commercial.  You can use "Checkbook", which is free and pretty much the same thing:

That looks nice.
I'm sure I won't use it often, but I have to download it.

I use ITC Avant Garde Gothic Alternate for my font work from time to time...It's better than nothing I guess.//  :redcart:

The annoying this is - the Famicom font exists somewhere as a staple font.  You see it all over the place so it's definitely available.


DISK SYSTEM font - http://www.fontspace.com/category/famicom?sort=date
FAMICOM FONT -

This is admittedly a long shot, but does anyone have the Twin Famicom font?  It's typically used for "twin FAMICOM" with a dot in the middle of the "O".
