Weird question - I am trying to find the name of the font used for the manuscript pages found in American Nightmare. I have been Googling my ass off, but can't seem to find an answer. I'll keep looking, but as of this post, can anyone offer a helping hand? If I can't find the answer through searching or this forum, I'll most likely just write a letter to Remedy. Figured I would start here! Thanks duders.
Alan Wake's American Nightmare
Game » consists of 2 releases. Released Feb 22, 2012
A spin-off of the 2010 supernatural-horror game Alan Wake, with a heavier focus on combat and a less melancholic tone. Set in a rural desert town, the Champion of Light must do what he can to foil the plans of his evil doppelgänger.
Manuscript Font???
From an image I found, it looks like a standard typewriter font (akin to Courier etc.)
Try going to a site like dafont.com and choosing from one of the free fonts that will be similar. There'e even a section called "typewriter" under "fancy".
Only played the 1st game so far so I had to look up a image of American Nightmares Manuscript. Looking at the page i see it doesn't look like anything special, I was thinking Times, maybe Times New Roman. Here is the image I'm looking at, not sure If I'm looking at what your looking at.

Yes, that is exactly what I am looking at. But you were thinking Times? I will take a look. Since posting this, I have in fact sent an email to Remedy to see if they could let me know. Thanks for your reply.
From that screenshot it looks pretty close to Courier but since the text is a bit blurred it's hard to tell for sure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courier_(typeface)
PS. It's "typeface", not font :P

I can assure you that the above font is definitely not any of the Times family.
It's monospaced for a start.
You will definitely find something extremely similar at the link I posted previously.

My apologies also as, upon reflection, my reply does come across as a tad terse. I certainly didn't mean it to sound like quite so pointed. Hope you have success finding your fon...er, typeface.
