D&D 5E 5e Fonts?

[Sword of Spirit]

Does anyone happen to know what fonts are used in the core 5e materials?

The logo font is Modesto Condensed. It's not a free one though.

 

[Evhelm]

That is an excellent question! I would also like to know the answer to that

WotC has also been fond of Palatino Linotype in the past. That's what the 4E books were written in, I think. I don't know if that's in 5E still.

This guy knows!

(I could rant about the differences between a typeface and a font, but instead, just enjoy that site.)



Cheers,

The main text is Scala Sans.

If you open the pdfs and look in the properties you can see what fonts are used.

Going from the Player's Basic Rules -
Bookmania (family)
Interstate Light
ModestoTextMedium
MrsEavesAllSmallCaps
MrsEavesSmallCaps
MrsEavesSmallCaps-SC700
MrsEavesXLSerifOT
ScalaSansOffc (family)

The DM's Basic Rules use the same fonts.
Scala Sans appears to be the body text.

Why did they choose to print the pages numbers in such a light shade? Some of us oldsters can barely see the damn things.

Ha, my thoughts exactly!

Wish I knew.
