l_stowe Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Hi there, Sorry if this has been asked many times before. I've checked the Fan-Use page but I couldn't see an answer. I've written a short story inspired by the work of Lovecraft, which I would like to share with others on places like Wattpad, but I need to make a cover image. I'd like to show is set in the CoC setting so I wondered if I could use the font so that people know what to expect, if they know the font. Would this be possible? Thanks in advance Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Mize Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I don't know what the actual font they use is, nor the license, or anything legal like that, but there are fonts out there that come close to the Call of Cthulhu look. Look at Beaumarchais Regular and Columbus Regular. - Bill Quote https://youtube.com/@billplayscthulhu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per the Fan Material Policy: Restrictions: 3b You cannot emulate Chaosium or Moon Design Publications “trade dress”, including page templates, art styles or fonts. So as you stated I wondered if I could use the font so that people know what to expect, if they know the font. So sorry that's not possible as you're emulating trade dress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doh, I probably should have searched the document for the word font. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
