If you're talking about the cover with the stylized FORTRESS BADABASKOR on the two orange(ish) colored variants, I believe it's hand drawn. You can tell by looking at the A, B, S and R. They are all slightly different in each occurrence. The cream/blue/brown variant uses www.myfonts.com/fonts/mti/old-english/old-english/The full color cover uses some monopaced sans serif font. The internal text is courier and something like letter gothic mono I believe. |

I meant the interior text. I've tried a few font-ID sites, but they all return no results. It looks like a "typewriter font" with no serifs. I suck at IDing fonts by eye.  |

My copy uses an italicized courier for the table of contents and upper marginalia, but the bulk of the text is very close to letter gothic. The 1, d, g, and maybe y are the only characters I see with subtle changes. You could probably find the exact set if you knew what typewriter was used for the JG stuff—without doing a careful study, I feel like pretty much all of their products were set the same way with the same tools.
There's that book of IBM typewriter samples floating around from some other thread here, that might prove helpful.

Letter gothic mono looks close (to my inexpert eye), but the font packages are just silly expensive. *sigh*
