Instructions
Steel Tongs is the font to be used for the credit block on FSUFILM marketing materials, such as posters and DVD wraps. You’ll need to download the zip file (above) and install the font on your computer before starting work on a poster or DVD wrap, otherwise the credit block will not display correctly.
Steel Tongs works by displaying certain keystrokes as credit titles or logos.
- Lowercase letters, many punctuation symbols, and ALT key codes are translated into different graphical elements of a credit block. See below for a complete list of these.
- All uppercase letters, numerals, and basic punctuation symbols (periods, commas, quotes, dashes, ampersands) will display as normal. This can be helpful if a needed credit for a poster is not one of the presets, as you can type it out manually.
