Japanese packshot with the cover art of MediEvil (1999)

Harrington was used for the logo of the Japanese release of the video game MediEvil. It’s primarily featured in all caps, safe for the first e, with letterforms of varying size. Some of the letter shapes have been customised, such as the first e and the Is. The logo appears in the game itself, as well as on the game packaging, and in advertisements for the game.

The font used for Japanese text is JTC Win ZM9 (see comments below for the source). Some of the character shapes have been customised with flourishes and sharper ends.

The 2019 remake developed by Other Ocean Emeryville for PS4 reuses the Japanese logo in Japan, with additional glow effects.
