Vampire Fonts
Once upon a time in the late 90s and early 2000s, White Wolf used dozens of distinctive font faces in their books. Some of us would scour free font web sites, hoping to identify which fonts had been used for various purposes. Sometimes, someone from the company would mention a font that had been used for a particular purpose; very often, fans just hunted until they found the right one and shared the information with each other. And it could be a hunt back then to find the sites that had the fonts you needed for your homemade character sheets, game handouts, web sites, and projects. Eventually, Mr. Gone was so good as to arrange mega bundles for download, while also identifying the various purposes of the fonts.
But it's been a long time since those days. Now, the fonts aren't hard to find with a Google search. Mr. Gone's bundles are up and available, separated by game line. The Storyteller's Vault also offers templates for all of the game lines, and the fonts required are packaged with the them. The template descriptions on the Vault don't tell you wish fonts are packaged in them or show you what was used for which purpose; you have to download them, unpack everything, and review the templates for that.
So I have repurposed this older page on my site to show you which fonts were used for major titles and such. There are links to a few different free font web sites where you can download them. I have not had it in me to download all of the templates and figure out which are packaged in the many different template offerings. Some fonts were re-used in different games, and this is just a small sample of the amazing variety of fonts that have been employed over the decades across the World of Darkness. Still, they are viewable, free, and downloadable.
The fonts on this page are arranged by alphabetical order. Many of the fonts here were used in Vampire: the Masquerade, second and third edition. The fonts in green were used in Kindred of the East products, and the fonts in purple were used in Dark Ages products. Some fonts, like DeRoos and Clairvaux, have shown up all over the place.
I do not own any of the fonts below and did not create them, and I intend no infringement on anyone's rights. I could not find Runchuu anywhere, so I link to the KotE template that has them on the Storyteller's Vault. I got permission many years ago from the late, great LdyMox to offer her WoD dingbat fonts, and I will continue to offer them here in her memory. RIP LdyMox; you are missed.
