Isn't that because it's not really a font? I could be wrong but it just looks like it's been custom drawn - the letter 'i' doesn't look the same both times in Liquid.

Really awesome that something like a font can be so defining for a game's presentation.
Most of these, you just glimpse at the font and you know where it's from!

I always liked that generic font found in a lot of DS games. I can't remember the exact name but I think it was part of the dev kit or something?

a quick google search, out of curiosity :

I had already found it before posting, but i didn't ask for the name, but for the archive. It's been a hell to find it. Everywhere I see that had it the link to dl it has already expired.
 
Anyone know the Metal Gear Solid 2 font used for the previous story content in the game? It is really close to a few fonts, but I can't seem to find one that matches perfect.
