Destiny Fonts (Destiny)

Hey all, time to chime in.

Yes, we used Neue Haas as our primary font. We wanted to veer far from digital/techy and go for a clean look.

Unfortunately, we had some issues with fidelity rendering it at small, subpixel alignments; particularly the italicized version. For the small body and italics caption font, I went with Epoca Pro. That one was authored and hinted specifically for screen display so it worked much nicer at small sizes. The fact that it is narrower and gothic helps separate it from Neue Haas, though, I wish it was just a tad more condensed, as it can feel a bit too similar at times.

Like we see throughout the game, there's an accent of fantasy here and there. In the UI, we were inspired by the map from Time Bandits to create the look of the navigator map used in the Director. In that, we accented with Cromwell, as you guys have astutely noticed.

Overall i'm impressed with your detective work. :)
