Does anyone else have unusual ‘official’ poster images at high resolution? Thinking along the lines of these:

(though I think I’ve seen that last one as a custom cover already…)
I thought other menu/cover people might be interested in the results of my research into the ‘Mother readout’ font, so loved by the official DVD authors!
I’ve essentially concluded that the actual typeface was purpose-designed for the film, and has never been made commonly available to anyone outside the studio.
Searching for an alternative, the closest I’ve come up with – and it’s damn close - is Dispatch but it’s quite expensive. Anyone got this in their collection already?
By the way, the makers of Alien Evolution just used Courier… if you underscore it and put it in the green-on-black colour scheme, it does the trick well enough!
