This article is a reference for typography and font faces used by the Star Army of Yamatai.
Historically, the Star Army has used:
Bitsumishi was used in Star Army's earlier days because of its cool sci-fi look. It was previously used in Imperial Registry Number (IRN) and the logo of the site on the forums.
It was used in the deck plan diagrams of the Plumeria-class (2E) Medium Gunship.
Use of Bitsumishi was eventually discontinued because of license concerns since it was only for personal use and Wes wanted a more free license.

Conthrax SB is used in the arm patches of the Star Army Uniforms as part of the Star Army Insignia Set, Type 41 and on the Star Army Exercise Uniform, Type 40. It became the Star Army's primary font circa 2018/YE 40. The “SB” is for semi bold and this font is usually used by the Star Army in BOLD CAPS.
The author describes it thusly:
“Conthrax is an ultramodern, orthogonal sans-serif typeface with plastic forms influenced by consumer electronics and vehicle design. These high-tech letterforms are well suited to themes of futurism, science, and technology—conveying a feeling of industrial accuracy using a voice of scholarly authority.”
