The box art for Epyx’s Commodore 64 port of Temple of Apshai, a classic RPG. Shown here is the game’s cassette release for the computer – some of the other releases were styled differently.

The font used for the title of the game is Croissant by Philip Kelly. At least two modifications were made to the font: the o was closed, and a drop cap-style f was created, likely from modifying the font’s t; the designer for the box art likely thought the original glyph was too goofy or ambiguous.

It’s paired here with Helvetica and Helvetica Condensed, and Crillee, Epyx’s signature typeface at the time.
