      The font is Revue! People often say that their first love-hate font was Comic Sans - well, this was the first font I thought was pretty damn cool and I saw it getting run to the ground with overuse in early 1990s. It was pretty much in half of the ads in early 1990s. (My theory: It was bundled with a popular graphic design passion package / clipart bundle, Arts & Letters, and everyone made their ads with it. I can’t wait for the day when I finally get arsed to install Windows 3.0 environment and my copy of Arts & Letters and prove the doubters wrong)

      I half expected the first comment about the font to be about The Room to be honest.

        Thanks! I was racking my brain trying to think of where I knew it from, and after seeing the page that you linked I’m almost certain that it’s After Burner that is causing my brain to trigger the 80s association.

        Randomly stumbling upon a font nerd was not on my bingo card today. I didn’t know about Revue, thanks.
