About the lettering

The game's title is distressed slab lettering that reads as drawn for the box rather than set from a font. The forum's suggestions run to replicas (Marston, Redemption, Outlaws) rather than sources, and Chinese Rocks remains the consensus closest match for both the first game and Red Dead Redemption 2.
