About the lettering

The series never kept one logo: the first two games' box art reworked Univers into the familiar slanted wordmark, and later entries redrew their titles again. The recreation Overseer covers the classic lettering, and the forum identifies it, fittingly, for the word 'Fallout' on the New Vegas poster, with Avant Garde Medium Bold Oblique beside it for 'New Vegas'.
