Sort of a printing question...

The group may find this to be an absurd question, but I'd like to know what the title font is. The reason is I'm considering making an alternate character sheet to fit my game better and I want to give it the proper aesthetics. I'm sure I could just Photoshop the text I need, but I want to try and do it as "properly" as possible.

The titling font used throughout the text is Tempus Sans ITC and is included on most Windows PCs. In most cases, it is in "small caps" mode instead of traditional U&LC (upper and lower case).
I appreciate you trying to "do things right." A lot of people wouldn't take the time to care. I'm a bit of a typographile myself...so... ^_~ I'm always trying to figure out typefaces used in my favorite books!
The regular text is Palatino Linotype. This is included on newer PCs I believe, but if it's not, Book Antiqua is a clone available on most older PCs. Palatino is the proper font, Antiqua an unethical knockoff, but they look mostly the same to the standard eye.

To be honest, I'm also a bit of a game show/scoreboard font whore, which is probably where this is coming from. I'm familiar with Palantino because that's the prefered text of Yu-gi-oh cards. Can you tell I'm a nerd?
As for the actual sheet, I'm thinking of trying to make a 2-sided sheet to make more space for both stats and flavor text. The current draft also uses a hint of Whitewolf (specifically Exalted) since the modifiers work similarly.
Now if I could only find a clean version of the logo.....

I hope this sheet becomes available for us to look at when it's done.
Sounds cool!

Well, I don't need the logo anymore. Yay, snapshot mode.

I'd like to see this, too, Joe.
The in-book sheet is sorely lacking. (But it's not like I have
stats or anything to fill it with.)
Sorry I didn't get the logo to you, but yeah, the PDF is freely extractable. I didn't see the harm in it. After all, you COULD have just zoomed in really far and pressed Print Screen. ^_^ So most of the text and images can be weaseled out of the PDF. But sssh...let's not advertise it. ;p
