Weatherlight is an expansion card set of the playable card game Magic: The Gathering. Weatherlight was released in June of 1997, and was the eleventh expansion set released for the card game.
Shown here are a variety of card packs, boxes, and print advertisements. Above you will see two packs of magic cards.
The logo for Weatherlight is set in Liefendre, a calligraphic typeface designed by Jim Marcus and released by T-26 just a year earlier. The logo uses the alternative W glyph.
The Magic: The Gathering logo combines custom lettering for “Magic” with Belwe for “The Gathering”. The print ads below use a combination of Liefendre and ITC Legacy Sans.
