[Example](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Land_of_the_Lost_(1974)_title_screen.jpg) My google fu has not availed me, formidable though it is. I’d settle for something close, some sort of 3d carved stone block-type thing. Anybody know where I might be able to find one? ---

A font that is close is named Bedrock. I will email it to you if you like. [It is also here.](http://www.fonts.com/findfonts/detail.htm?pid=420805) ---

Might this be a job for Photoshop? This looks like a generic gothic font in several sizes, placed as shown, turned 3D and distressed. ---

Maybe the creators of [**Saul of the Mole Men**](http://www.freekland.com/saul.htm) would have an answer for you…the title logo is purposely reminiscent of the **LotL** logo. ---

What you’re looking for is not simply a matching font, but also a matching effect. You can achieve this in any drawing program that enables extrusion. I would use Illustrator. And by the way, what you showed us isn’t a font, it was drawn by hand. ---

[It is also here.](http://www.fonts.com/findfonts/detail.htm?pid=420805) [/QUOTE] Hi **Missy2U** , that would be great if you could do that, thank you. I might be able to work that one over with a graphics program and get something approximating what I want. Certainly better than starting from scratch. ---
