Robot Wars/Battlebots Font Collection

Post by NFX » Sat Aug 22, 2015 12:38 pm

I don't know why I'm so interested in collecting fonts, but I am. Not too long ago, I decided to start looking around to see if I could find as many fonts that are used in combat robotics as I could, in case I ever decided to render up any of the old competitors, like the Tornado CAD I put together. Here's the list of what I have so far, in case anyone else wants to use it, including any tweaks that were made to the fonts when they appeared on the robots. I'll be planning to add to it when I find any new matches.

Should perhaps note that these fonts may go by other names on different sites.

Arial - Mace
Bamboo Regular - Dr. Inferno Jr.
Bank Gothic - Robot Wars Main Font
Brush Script Regular - Dantomkia/Spitfire
Chandler - Chaos 2 (2 is backwards capital S)
Chiller - Tornado & Mute
Cooper Black - Mousetrap
Eurostile Heavy - Overkill, Toe-Crusher, Minion, Dreadnought......basically all of Team Cool Robots.
Gill Sans Ultra Bold - Big Cheese/Wheely Big Cheese & Reactor
John Handy LET - Storm II
Nasalization - T.R.A.C.I.E. (Modified E)
One Stroke Script Bold - Gemini
Post Crypt - Wild Thing
Revue - Roadblock
Shotgun Regular - Recyclopse & Cassius
Sistemas - Panic Attack (Modified A&T) & Plunderbird
Slabface - Bolt From The Blue
Stencil - A-Kill
Stop - Leighbot & Dreadnaut

Fascinating! If I ever get back into RA2 replica-building, this should help me a lot, actually. Plus, it's quite interesting just to see what everyone uses for their robots, as well.

Mute also uses Chiller, btw. It's a stock font on most Windows computers.
