Host Sam Reich jumping joyously on the Game Changer set
Game Changer is a comedy panel game show produced and broadcast on the streaming service Dropout TV hosted by Sam Reich. The premise of the game show is that “the game changes every show,” so the reoccurring panel of comedian contestants have no idea what game they are playing until they start playing it.
Game Changer’s logo uses the fonts FF Prater Script for the word “Game” and Trade Gothic Next Heavy Compressed for the word “Changer”. In Season 5, much of the advertising used a hand painted style of Sam Reich as a magician, and used the font Sign Lettering JNL for the title on those advertisements instead.
Game Changer also displays the prompts for the contestants, and the info card of each contestant in Trade Gothic Next. The font used for the credit roll is Proxima Nova.
The strangest font among Game Changer’s history has to be All P Keyboard. This comedic font is entirely composed of the lowercase letter p, mapped to all other characters. The p glyph in this font is the same as the one from the Helvetica typeface.
This odd font choice comes from Game Changer season 2, episode 4, “A Sponsored Episode”, where the contestants are tasked with pitching random products they have never seen before. Contestant Mike Trapp receives a normal keyboard, except that all the letters have been replaced with the letter p. His hilarious yet surprisingly convincing presentation gained lots of views online, which gave Dropout the idea to make this an actual font you could use and released it in 2021 with the premiere of season 4 of the show.
This is the only font that Dropout has ever released themselves, and is available to download for users who have a subscription.
