Title: What Is The Xbox360 Font
Post by: chilin_dude on October 09, 2005, 09:48:00 AM
I'm looking to get this font for a presentation I'm going to be doing on the 360 at my college, but google so far hasn't told me what the official font is that's being used... I have the official font from the old xbox, but since this is on the next generation, that is pretty useless.
Thanks in advance!

The '360' is in a different text, but you got the Xbox part right (except that the official Xbox text is less bold).

It doesn't really look like Arial. It looks like Helvetica 45 Light with an altered B. Link.

Um, arial IS helvetica.  In fact, its MSs' standardised version of helvetica. the only real difference is the weight, kerning and tracking.

chilin_dude - if you want that 'B' added to a set of typeface come see me in #uix on efnet and I'll knock it up in about 30 seconds :P

ok, this isnt spot on by any means but it will certainly do for a presentation. mind you its about as legal as an xdk compiled program so come see me in the chan^ if you want it.  you can adjust the kerning (the space between letters) in any decent program.
