FONTS!

Hey Everyone,

With the #PJTrackReveal, new album around the bend and the new "Audio Chronicles" (here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhN8wn7wEok) I was wondering if anyone had, or knows where to find the recently used fonts' The one used for the Lightning Bolt artwork has a skinny, straight line feel to it much like the Century Gothic used for the 2006 world bootlegs but the corners and bends are far more rounded. I can't find it anywhere. I also can't find anything that looks like Jeff's handwriting (like on the right side of the screen in the video above). I know this is Jeff's actual writing but perhaps with all the samples over the years and the many, many things he's written that the band has released, maybe someone with the expertise has created a font for it.

Anyways, if anyone has any leads on where someone could acquire these fonts, please let me know. Thanks a lot in advance. :)

Here is a list of links to other PJ related fonts you can download for free:

    Anyone? I'm more so looking for the Lightning Bolt one than the other.

    I've been searching for the LB font too...i think it's something custom created by the artist. Perhaps an altered version of something similar.

    Never seen anything like Jeff's handwriting but I'm with you, I bet someone created a font at some point.

    If anyone wants it, here's a free font for Backspacer:

    If I find anymore, I'll put them all up in the first post (along with this one).

    If anyone's created a font of Jeff's handwriting, let's hope it's Jeff, and that he gets royalties.

    Thanks, there are differences in the first two. Yummo Light is close.

    Looks pretty similar to Blanch, but it's still not exactly it.

    Yeah, I find the "Asinine" to be close on some of it but the hard bends in the letters like "M" "N" are tough to ignore. Hopefully someone comes across it and posts it here.

    Just wondering if anyone has come across the Lightning Bolt font yet or knows someone who's made it that would share. Please let me know.

    Hey Everyone,

    I'm sure this will quickly get buried but I'm looking for some help with an older font.

    A few years back there was a french Pearl Jam site that had various fonts that PJ had used over the years. One of the fonts was the 2005 NA/SA bootleg font. I thought I still had it but I guess not. Now, trying to find it has become impossible.

    I'm hoping there's some bootleg savvy people around here who may have hopefully grabbed that font and can share it with me. I would really appreciate it. Please let me know via PM.

    Thanks a lot in advance if anyone can help me out.

    Does anyone know what font this is or what font would be closest to it?
    Cheers.
