Syera Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I've been looking off-and-on for the font used to spell out "Pirates" and "Caribbean" on the Pirates of the Caribbean cover art. So far, I've found an impressive collection of gothic fonts, but none of them are that particular font. Does anyone know if and where this font (or a re-creation thereof) exists anywhere on the Internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenighs Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Windlass for the title, maybe? for the body, possibly Calson Antique VL I ran a couple of frags from the movie poster through What the Font, but it's pretty obvious it was customized for the title. There might be a custom version out there of the altered title font. The smaller print looks very much like Caslon Antique. "Buccaneer" is a little too fancy, "Blackbeard," too rough, "Captain Kidd" is too skinny, the "Booter" family is either too slanty or not curvy enough, Dominican has almost slab serifs, so it's out, "Four Score" is scripty (and way post-GAoP ), and Windsor Antique Demibold looks like "Cooper" put through a wood chipper.

Syera Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 Hmm... those're both pretty nice-looking fonts. I'd grab them in a heartbeat, were they free. Oh, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasNdanger Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 da Font has a few nice fonts, but nothing exactly like the POTC titles. Treasure Map Deadland Rapscallion Captain Kidd (this is a demo, not all characters available unless you buy the font) This one is great for ship lovers: Armada enjoy! das http://www.ajmeerwald.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
