Does anyone have a copy of the fonts used by E4?

The font was created by Fontsmith and is therefore under lock and key with them and E4.

Their new font is ITC American Typewriter, and is a commercial font which you have to pay for...

I feel a battle of who is right coming on...

Depends which era the OP is referring to. Pre-December 2007, E4 used a font created by Fontsmith. From December 2007 onwards they have used ITC American Typewriter.

Well, three fonts by Fontsmith. Pretty cut and dry, I'd say.

Although I believe a reconstructed version was available at The TV Room.
