Gambit, which had a terrific graphic designer if not much of a set, used the font on the prizes on the Gambit Board. It was the font for Rhyme and Reason, too, and a nifty Parker Brothers game called Gambler.

Beamie is a pretty close match.

Post by: PYLdude on May 08, 2014, 01:00:36 AM: See, I read his question wrong. I thought he was talking about the font used on the board.

Beamie kinda looks like the old Sega font, doesn't it? Just a bit?

Thanks for this. Surprising we don't see more of Yagi Double and Universal with the 70s poking up again.

Your brand of "fun" ain't exactly mine.
