okay, starting this cause i'm having trouble with finding a font, and figured, what the heck, others might like to use it too, so, feel free to ask for things like this

but, overall what I'm trying to do is find a font that a lot of the gaming magazines used around the 90s to 2000s. Specifically, it's a sans-serif font with a fancy lowercase "g"

and google wasn't particularly helping cause idk what i need to know to find it properly

but here's some links to a few gaming magazines with similar fonts, plus an image

https://archive.org/details/next-level-issue-20-sep-2000/page/n3/mode/2up   (it's in spanish but the font is similar to what i'm looking for)

https://archive.org/details/gameinformerissue134/page/n23/mode/2up    (game informer issue 134 with one variant cover)

https://archive.org/details/game-informer-issue-3-january-february-1992_202408/page/n5/mode/2up    (game informer, issue 3 i think?)

Spoiler

to clarify, it doesn't have to be any of them exactly, but close enough will do. It's jsut that I had a project in mind that requires this kind of font, and the ones I've got on my PC aren't matching up at all. I can either get the fancy "g" with a serif font, or i can have a sans-serif font that matches everything else, but not both

To identify certain fonts, you can use this site; I'm not promising anything, but it might help: https://www.myfonts.com/fr/pages/whatthefont ..  Don't send a large image, just a text excerpt...

The one you're looking for (Sega .. Genesis does ...) is -> Gill Sans : https://font.download/font/gill-sans-2

What is good when you have nothing to say is that you can always pretend to listen. Anyway it does not prevent to think!
