What Fonts Do the card use in the older sets of PACG and other questions about how to create custom cards.


Homebrew and House Rules


I'm trying to make my own custom cards for a homebrew path I am making with the kids to be used with my Wrath and Runelords sets.

I downloaded the PDF file with all the templates... but I seem to be missing some information...

1) I can not seem to work out what FONT to use. Much duck'n and google'n and no luck. Dose anyone know what Font or Fonts (if more than one) are used on the cards.

If anyone could name the Font or Fonts that would be awesome.

Also it would be great if anyone also new of an approximate font or fonts I could get from a free font archive like DaFont or something.

2) There is a image in the background, behind the card art. It looks like a parchment texture or something. Dose anyone have this texture, as the templates do not have tis texture, only a white box.

I know of the DriveThroughCards thing... but it is super slow. I would rather just setup a Photoshop file. Also there are some issues with that online builder, like long advanced card text will not scale to the available space and you can not have more than 2 testable skills on a given test.

Anyway... I'm most interested in what Font or Fonts are on the cards... so if you do not know the other answers, but know that I would still really appreciate a reply.

If anyone know an application that dose this, like say Strange Eons.... I would be most happy to give it a try.

Thanks!

For Core cards, Good OT Condensed.

Pre-Core, the primary font on cards was Dax (the other fonts on the list in the linked post were used for things such as the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game logo, set indicators, etc.)

If the parchment background isn't available in the Community Use Package, then unfortunately we can't legally share it. That said, it shouldn't be too hard to find your own similar-looking parchment background.


Its been a while, but I think when I opened the template pdf in Photoshop Elements, it was able to extract the parchment as a separate layer.
