Full Version: Pyramid Category Font

I think the title of the post says it all. Does anyone know the font used for the Categories in Dick Clark's Pyramid.

I looks slightly similar to Impact, but this doesn't seem to be the exact font.

Thanks in advance for any help.

If I had to make a guess, I'd say Franklin Gothic Extra Condensed.

Here's a box with some text.

I'm pretty sure it's Futura Bold [or Black?] Condensed.

I dunno...looking at the "Q" in "DISCOTHEQUE", I'm still inclined to say Franklin Gothic...

I think Franklin Gothic is pretty darned close, if not exact.

Someone suggested orange tag board (22" x 28") and 6" gothic letters to me to get very close to Pyramid.

Does anyone happen to know the font they used for the chyron? I use Georgia Bold; it's close but not quite there.

For the chyron font, and this is just a guess, have you ever tried Palatino or even Times? All I 100% about fonts from "Pyramid" is that Cooper Black is used for the huge "$25,000" sign on the top of the WC Pyramid.

Nope, it's ITC Souvenir Bold.

And, Tim, try Bookman Headline (not the ITC version) for the chyron font.
