We all know that the Millennium logo font is Trajan, but I wonder if anyone can help me with some of the others used in the series. Specifically:

1. The font for the buzz words in the main title sequences, from "wait... worry... who cares?" to "this... is... who we are" and "the time is near".

2. The font for the opening credits and quotations which looks like Courier New but has some kind of extra effect to it.

Any knowledgeable helpers out there?

Hi. I've compared several fonts with the ones from the main titles (season 1).

1. The font for "wait - worry - who cares?" and the other main titles is Arial Narrow.

2. You're right. It's definately a typewriter font. I haven't been able to find an exact match, but I'm guessing the designers made their own version of a font. What looks most like it is a font called "1942 report". You can get it here for free: https://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=113

If you have a program like Photoshop you can always change the font a little bit, like stretch it vertical or horizontal or change the distance between the letters. I used a picture from the screen capture archive made by chrisnu to compare. It's weird, look at the quotation marks, they're different. https://www.chrisnu.com/millennium/s1/index...pgmFilters=#pic
