I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
Hey, font-thread. Got this place recommended in the small questions Ask/Tell thread.

I would like to do a small project for personal use (gift for a friend) that uses this image from an episode of Futurama:


I want to make a larger, higher-quality, version of the "Boring Geology Lecture" sign/image to turn into either a sticker or two, or just like a high-res print.

I will likely have to do that myself, but it's a simple enough design that I feel confident I can recreate in an editing program. I'm not a skilled graphic designer, but I think I can do two piecesof curve text, vertical text, and two vertical lines.

But the sticking issue is the font. I went to whatthefont.com and it suggested it's Posterama Pro 1933 which does seem close... not perfect, but likely close enough but it's listed there at $40 (Although I'm assuming WhattheFont is trying to overcharge me and it might be cheaper elsewhere or part of, like, an Adobe CC package?)



I just have regular Posterama on my machine, and it's not good enough, the lines are too thin, IMO.

So I guess two-fold question:
1) Does that indeed look to be Posterama 1933 Black
and 2) What's the easiest/cheapest way to get that font (or whatever font is actually is)

Thanks!
