Game logo and title card. Also used for act & scene location cards. The game's [[:File:Krz-pc-edition-title.png|logo]] is modified so the uppercase K is disconnected and the serifs joined. Cardboard Computer switched to using this font as a nod to the opening sequence of [[wikipedia:Chris Marker|Chris Marker]]'s 1983 documentary on human memory ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaDaGtM6xWU Sans Soleil]''.

<!-- Karaoke and Terminal fonts are very likely based on off-the-shelf existing fonts. To research. -->


=== Custom fonts ===
[[File:Karaokefont.png|thumb|150px|left|"Karaoke"]]
The "[[Too Late to Love You]]" karaoke sequence in [[Act III]] features a font called "Karaoke" in the game files.

''Kentucky Route Zero'' also makes use of custom-created fonts. For example:
[[File:Terminalfont.png|thumb|150px|left|"Terminal"]]
Computer text, such as on [[XANADU]] or [[Joseph]]'s, is displayed in a font called "Terminal." Displays with a screen-flickering effect.

* The "[[Too Late to Love You]]" karaoke sequence ("Karaoke").
[[File:Naivefont.jpg|thumb|150px|left|"Naive"]]
* Computer text, such as [[XANADU]]'s or [[Joseph]]'s ("Terminal").
A font called "Naive" was introduced in the 2018 "public-beta" branch on Steam, replacing Podkova for title cards and act screens. Based on the font "Archer Hairline". Features an effect similar to the "'''{{Zero}}'''" text shader. Was replaced due to readability issues.
* Symbols found in clickable pop-ups for inspecting objects or speaking to characters, and lower-screen action buttons such as for controlling flashlights, umbrellas, and degaussing ("Symbols").
{{clear}}


The title cards used in the beta build were also a custom font ("Naive").
