Fonts

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 22:22, 7 February 2007

The Brothers Chaps have used many different fonts on the Homestar Runner website.

Note: Oftentimes, different font corporations, or foundries, will publish virtually identical fonts under different names. For instance, Linotype's Eurostile is Bitstream's Square 721. In cases where the actual font used cannot be distinguished between two identical variants, the name with the older lineage should be used.
