Animal Crossing is a social simulation video game series developed and published by Nintendo. The series was conceptualized and created by Katsuya Eguchi and Hisashi Nogami. Since its initial release in 2001, five Animal Crossing games have been released worldwide. Published in 2020 for the Nintendo Switch; Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the fifth main entry in the series. [Wikipedia]

The Animal Crossing logo uses Rat Fink Heavy. This animated slab is part of House Industries’ Rat Fink collection, “based on the krazy hand lettering style of the man himself, Ed ‘Big Daddy’ Roth.” It’s rendered in yellow letters with a 3D effect, arranged on a bouncing baseline and attached to a wooden board with a clock on the top. The “New Horizons” tag is added in Ministry by Device, emulating embroidered lettering, with the second word made from elements in different shades of blue.

Some dialogue text, villager name on speech bubbles, and the UI was written in Seurat.
