The Flint Tribune: Adventure #2

[Noodle]

Thanks, Morrus!

Here's what I've done with the adventure 1 paper. I'm going to have Minister Jierre bring a copy to Axis Island to present to them - let them know they got a mention, "but I'm afraid my part is bigger". I also worked in quotes about my Team 6 from 'Team 7', the NPC constables presented in the beginning of Skyseer. I'm hoping this will start up a friendly rivalry in the office. Inspector Delft is none too happy that Team 7 blabbed to the paper, though..

ETA: I don't know if it will come through looking right if you don't have the font installed that I used. I grabbed the Essays1743 font, which looks made for broadsheets in the early industrial time period.

That's a sweet mid-18th-century style font.

The look I was shooting for is common about 100 years later—in particular, using a Scotch Roman (see here) for body text. Here's a couple free fonts that fit the bill; none made it to the final design, but they were on my list (and I've included the notes I made).

IM Fell French Canon: IM FELL French Canon, Regular by Igino Marini - Abstract Fonts
— Deteriorated and small cap variants; italic but no bold weight
— Lots of character
— [-]Credit and emailware license[/-] Go here for new versions

Justus: Justus, Roman - Abstract Fonts
— Small cap and OSF variants; bold, italic, but no bold italic
— Too bland? High x-height

Old Standard TT: Old Standard TT, Regular by Alexey Kryukov - Abstract Fonts
— Small caps in ext set?; bold, italic, but no bold italic
— Very Bodoni-ish [ETA: looking at it again, I probably would say no, it isn't]
