Jurassic Park font?
Eric Schwartz
one exists? Is anyone willing to create one? Is there an existing font
that has the same lettering style as seen on all of the Jurassic Park
merchandise?
Thanks,
Eric

The "Jurassic Art" package from the "arts & letters" drawing package people
includes a font that would appear to meet the requirements ... unfortunately
it is in a proprietary format - nobody here replied to my request on a means
of translating it to PS and/or TTF.
You can use the JURASSIC ART program to create the text & save the non
editable text to the WMF vector graphic format ... not pretty but it works.

the commercially (and public-domain-ly) face Tribeca with widened
edges, almost resembling serifs? I could have sworn it looked exactly
like Tribeca.

Funny you should ask! Just today we (my wife and I) received an ad
from Swfte for their Typecase III, which has "Shakazulu", a font
amazingly like the lettering for Jurassic Park. The mailer had
a price of $29.95 for the entire package of about 45 typefaces!
It's not shareware, but it's good and cheap anyway (if you can
use the upgrade offer). BTW, the list price is $50. To order,
call 800/237-9383.
Hope this helps.

I've seen the Typecase I & II fonts floating around; they alway sseem
to be truetype fonts. Do they have a PostScript version of the
packages?
Thanx,

According to a recent press release, Bitstream, Adobe, and certain other
firms have filed suit against Swfte, alleging that Typecase III includes
unauthorized copies of proprietary fonts belonging to those firms, and seeking
an injunction against further distribution of that product, in addition to
requesting damages in an undisclosed amount. For further information, one could
contact the above-mentioned firms. It is possible that the font under
discussion here is one of those that was allegedly pirated, in which case it

As Charles Bigelow pointed out in his followup, the Typecase fonts are
lifted from other foundries. "Shakazulu" is their name for Neuland
Inline, and Zorba is their name for the regular Neuland. Neuland was
cut by Rudolf Koch for the Klingspor foundry in 1923. Linotype owns
the rights to these faces; since Linotype hasn't released them in Type
1 (or TrueType) form, I'm not sure who, ah, provided the source
material for SWFT.

Is there a legit foundry source for the font used in J. Park? I've seen it
used in ads (other than the movie) before and I know that David Rakowski's
shareware font, Tribeca, is a reproduction of this.

The Jurassic Park title itself is not a font, but handlettering based on
Neuland Inline. I imagine the other J.P. materials do use a font, as it
wouldn't make sense to do that much lettering, but I haven't gotten a
close look at them. Linotype is considering releasing Neuland in Type 1
(they currently have it only for their older systems). Until they do, I
don't know of a legitimate source.

It should also point out that any digital version of Neuland, licensed
or not, can only be an approximation of the original metal version,
because the original had letters of different shapes at the different
sizes--the punches were handcut by Rudolf Koch himself, deliberately
varying the letterforms among the sizes to help produce that "primitive"
look. (Some letters vary more than others, of course.)
A digital version could only exactly match one point size of the metal,
which is of course the case with any single-master digital font (because
of the careful 'grading'--manual scaling--of the metal type) but this
is, of course, less noticeable with fonts other than Neuland.
