DEWLine Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 Well, Gotham...Metropolis...that was akin to waving a cape in front of any IP lawyer with any basic North American comics knowledge. There are more obscure names at hand. But I digress. Mithferion 1 Quote

There are more obscure names at hand. But I digress. Metropolis is also the name of a movie from Fritz Lang (Germany), mid to late 1920's. Probably well before the US Batman comics were created (late 1930's or early 1940's? if I am correct). So I doubt the IP laywers would be able to uphold any copyright claim about the Metropolis name. Not to mention it is an old Greek (and Latin) word as well which makes it even more difficult to patent/copyright "Metropolis" imho. For a font named Gotham that might be different. Oth, all an IP lawyer may need to do is threaten to file a case in court to make the other party give in because they can't afford the costs of a lawsuit. Mithferion 1 Quote

The Etymology of "Gotham" And of course as was stated Fritz Lang was the first to make "Metropolis" famous (it translates as "Mother State" or "Mother City" btw). With that brief bit of pedantry out of the way, I highly recommend Typewolf's Definitive Guide to Free Fonts, a massive list of free alternatives to more "established" typefaces, also his site is great in general for typophiles.

PAUL R FONTENOT Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 I have been trying to find out what that HUGE sans serif font is that MSNBC uses for their titles on shows like "THE ELEVENTH HOUR" with Brian Williams. Do you know the name of this font? Is it available commercially or for private use? Quote
