First off, let me apologize if this isn't the right section for this. There's not really a "graphic design" section of the boards that I've seen, though.

I was curious if anyone could point me in the right direction as to the official fonts used by the SG crew when whipping up their unit cards. They seem really familiar, like maybe the Mordheim style font. Caslon Antique is at least very similar to the fonts used in the 40K codices, but I'm sure if it quite fits.

The whole intent is to come up with the most official looking list possible when typing it up the first time instead of reformatting after I get it all done and messing with the layout after the inevitable kern shifts and all that bajeezus. I'd like to wind up with the same basic look as what the NetEA army compendiums have. If these are copyrighted fonts, the next closest thing with do, and I'm always willing to purchase from Adobe if need be!

Thanks in advance!

This may help , from 20th page in section 5, which is the first page of marine unit cards.

Ooops, that would be because courier is only being used for the print marks off the margin

Mostly a variant of Garamond (standard book).
