If you stood and looked at any other posters, you see the font styles, I know the font is arial.
But there are other fonts. Like the one that says thank you and the one that says safety first.
does anyone know the fonts used?

There's a website called identifont. Perhaps you can find out for yourself.

Tried it out already. Doesn't find the right font.
Also for the font images identifier. the pictures are too hard for the thing to figure out.
Possibly because of the dirt residue and marks on it.

What font are you trying to use? There are many fonts on underground signs.

This is the closest I could find to it:

http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/sideshow/coffee-service/

I wouldn't want to pay $39 for a font though. Try using Brush Script.

That font looks good enough for an old aperture poster. I'll just use the preview font function to use the words I need. Thanks for the help!

You're assuming that someone didn't paint those manually. With a cursive script like that I'd kind of expect them to.

I pm'd spongy explaining this. But obviously something that is similar is just as good.

Well Spongylover has obviously got a plan for using the font. You could PM him asking what his plan is. My guess is that you should make the poster in photoshop and then do whatever it is they do to make it a texture for use in hammer.
