Letter tile font

Post by Chris Griffin »

Hi, I'm new to the forum...

I am trying to design a logo for my website based on countdown letter tiles. Does anyone know the exact font and size used on the countdown letter tiles please.

Would they even necessarily use a named font that someone else invented? It's just big letters. Anyone can make big letters.

Why reinvent big letters though when there's already big letters out there?

I bet you couldn't. Well, OK, you probably technically could but they'd be seriously shit. It's not like redesigning the UDGs on the Spectrum, you know? Font design these days is proper graphic art stuff.
