*NEW* Exclusive Vader's Vault Combat Class FONTS
« on: October 21, 2016, 11:42:28 AM »
Hello Saberfans,

I wanted to take some time to share with you something that I have been working on for the better part of two years now. Some of you may have noticed that my Imperial Knight font has been running on the standard issue package on all Vader’s Vault combat class sabers. I was inspired to make the font because of their incredible work bringing that saber to life from the comics, and so in addition to offering it on Saberfont.com, I shared it with them to use on their sabers.

That era has come to an end. The Imperial Knight font will no longer be made available through any source outside of Saberfont.com, and will be replaced with completely custom fonts for each model in the Combat Class lineup. Each font has been designed to match the saber it belongs to, and will ship as the default font going forward. These fonts are completely exclusive, so the only place to get them is on the specific Combat Class saber it belongs to.

I have attached demo videos for the fonts themselves below. Please excuse the amateurish video editing for now, new demo vids will be posted as I complete them. Let me know what you think, and MTFBWY!

Are you designing fonts to go onto the flex and the hero? What fonts come with them ?

Those fonts are beautiful!  They've got just the perfect mix of unique and classic saber sounds to still feel like Star Wars while remaining individual and unique.
Run with perseverance the race marked out...

Those fonts sound great. I'm assuming there's no way for those of us who have recent versions of some of the sabers to get the fonts associated with them?

Thanks guys.

To answer your questions, there will not be Flex or Hero versions, as those aren't unique VV creations, and there are more than enough screen accurate and inspired fonts for both of those sabers.

As for retroactive purchases, I don't know. They may decide to make them available at a future date, but they would have to figure out the logistics of that and see if it is worth the effort. The IK font was filling that role before these were released, so you still get a great font, even if it is not exclusive.

I assumed it probably wouldn't be possible as it's not as if VV aren't busy enough already. I'd be quite happy to pay the price of a font to help cover the hassle if it ever became a possibility though.

I have an Ardent Elite and a REVN Elite and particularly like the sound of your new font for the REVN, but they're all great work. IK is a great font, but doesn't really 'fit' on either of those unfortunately. It's not all bad news though as I have an Acolyte on order so at least I'll get the new font on that (which sounds fantastic too).  :grin:

Oh yeah. Acolyte has proven very popular with the folks at the Vault.

Oh man I would love to have that Havoc on my Dark Havoc. I still have the receipt and am willing to pay for it.
