📋 About This Mod
Update: updated for DLC7
I've always deeply cherished the Mechwarrior 2 manual's use of fonts. These are the Dead History Roman and the Bank Gothic Medium fonts and I have now worked to implement them into MW5. especially Bank Gothic Medium looks incredibly good in the game's UI, imo. Dead History Roman is mostly just for long lines of text description, so I've only applied them to longer text boxes, like the descriptions of mechs and personal biographies of the pilots.
If you want to support my work and motivate me to make more mechs and mods for Mechwarrior 5 (and 6?), please consider supporting my Patreon
If you have any mods that change the UI, there may be a conflict.
This UI mod replaces the game's font with the classic Mechwarrior 2 typeface, giving your interface a retro mech-warrior vibe. It's a simple cosmetic change, compatible with DLC7, and has a modest following (106 endorsements). If you're a fan of the original Mechwarrior games, this is a quick way to add nostalgia.

For Mechwarrior fans who want that classic 90s font back in their UI. If you're after a full UI overhaul, this isn't it — it's purely cosmetic and minimal. Skip if you don't care about fonts.
