I was just saying my wife is a pro at figuring out what fonts were used on something, she's a graphic designer, so I guess that's part of the job, haha.  I don't understand any of it though.  But I'll see if she can help.

Hi saravi,

Most of the column text is Black cat letter from Crazy diamond..it is in their Wizardings collection. The headlines and other titles are various other fonts inc, Lewisham shadowed, Calista,LL rubber grotesque , courior to name but a few  Wink Some are not entirely accurate but most are near enough.

The Daily Prophet actual logo and Heading had to be drawn by hand, each letter, as I could not find anything similar...despite trawling the web for weeks !!!!

Good luck with your version  Smiley

Thank you so much, I'll show you the final replica when I'll finish it. Sorry about my English.
Can you pass the Black Cat Letter to me? Because I'm not from UK, or USA so it's imposible to me to buy it, and in addition I have no money Sad haha.

If anyone has a good picture of it that they could post or email us, she can figure it out.  Thanks!

Alan, I let you a photo to see how the daily should look.

Sorry can't do that Roll Eyes but you can find free fonts that are very similar if you search the web.
Good luck  Smiley
