I've done it! I've recreated the Avant Garde font used by TSR for Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits!

Post by Leema Har'gachi »

I've managed to recreate the custom avant garde font that TSR used for Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits and other 1st edition modules. Furthermore, I did a recreation of the inner cover and 2 page (the inner cover is technically the 1st page, *shrug*). You can download the custom fonts I created AvantGardeLIght TSR and AvantGardeLIghtDemi TSR for free on my patreon linked here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/avantgard ... =join_link
Here is the new recreation of the inner cover.

Here is the recreation of the 2nd page with the WOTC Scan art.

Here is the recreation of the 2nd Page with my attempt to recreate the original art.

And Finally Here is a comparison between the original WOTC scan and my recreation of page 2.

My patreon post for the font has .tiff version of all these images which you can save if you want. Devianart isn't compatible with .tiff even though they are a lossless format, shame really.

Thanks, I've actually found a issue with my custom font where if you had Avant Garde BK BT installed on your computer it would be replace by them, I've fixed that issue when I was recreating the title Font form 1st editions core rulebook. You can download the update version as well as the ChiselD TSR font here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/core-rule ... =join_link

I've also finally recreated the actual cover.
