Thanks for the instructions, donshottype! Believe it or not, I'm a Super Mod on a graphics forum...I know how to use vBulletin, but was baffled by this guy. Here's an image I modeled and rendered using Kabel and Copperplate in the appropriate places. I realize that Monopoly has gone through many graphical iterations over the decades, with different typefaces, but the fonts I chose seemed to be the ones most immediately recognizable for an audience today.

Hi donshottype—

Can you tell me how you are able to post an image on this board? Mandate appears to be dead-on for the card script, and I'd like to show a visual comparison between what I used about a year ago on a modeled scene I did, and the fonts that are suggested on this thread.

TIA, and I'm glad I discovered this resource.

And also that some of my typefaces are available here!

Um, let's remember that the game was originally created around 1933, when even wealthy manufacturers just didn't have the variety of fonts that we do today...they just had not been created yet.

The cards use some sort of condensed grotesque font, and yes, Helvetica bold Condensed will work fine for reproducing the Cards.

The Script at the top of the cards, Community Chest and Chance, is NOT Brush Script. I have no idea who the original artist or foundry are, but Bitstream issued a render of it: Freehand 521 Script.

Yep on the use of Kabel for the board, and Copperplate is used to list the prices on the places. As far as the "GO" and the question mark on the board, I hand drew these pieces, although the Chance slot might be a crude render of Kabel, from the original board.

Sincerely, with absolutely no life,

Gare
