I'm wanting to get a tattoo on my right arm soon with the font from the front of the firefly DVD case. I've looked around and there are some fine fonts that come close, but as far as I can see, it's simply a logo..designed specifically for the case. Any Fontologists/typologists...or what ever this particular kind of whowhatsits called managed to replicate it yet? Or are planning to?
Cheers.

HELL'S KITTEN

...I'm pretty sure the font used for the series is "nuptial," with maybe slight customization for the F and the y. (The font for the movie logo is "papyrus".) If you've already explored these fonts, I apologize for the repetition.

Even if the font doesn't really exist, shouldn't a good tattoo artist be able to take the image from the DVD case and expand upon that?

Thanks. I had explored those fonts. They are close, but I think I may just have to draw this out myself to get it just right.
A good tattoo artist would be able to, I would hope. I just wanted to be on the safe side, really.
But anywho, shiny.
I'll get on it.
