Does anyone know which font the OD&D character sheet (check it out here) uses? I looks a bit like Domine (a Google font), but Domine is from 2012, so it's not the one. |

One place to start would be with Google's description of Domine, since that's what looks close to it, from your viewpoint: www.google.com/fonts/specimen/DomineTSR used Century quite a bit, but it doesn't quite look like that to me. But then, there are a number of Century variants... |

It looks a little like Clarendon.

Yup, Clarendon or Clarendon Wide it seems to be.  |

If someone is curious: I made a character sheet for OD&D (pre- Greyhawk) with that font. |

If someone is curious: I made a character sheet for OD&D (pre- Greyhawk) with that font. A nifty little character sheet, leonaru! One thing I love about OD&D is the fact that character sheets can be so darned simple.  Somewhere around here should be a thread where I shared my "3xz5" note card" character sheet. |

Out of interest do you remember where you shared it Marv?

Yeah it's Clarendon.
Remember back in the early 70s there weren't 1000s of fonts. It was more like dozens. And really for available automatic typesetters from back then, it's an even smaller handful.
Now, most of them don't match exactly what we have today, because they've all been recreated when we went to the digital age, and they are close, but not exact matches.
