Tom Clancy’s The Division video game
Tom Clancy’s The Division is an online action role-playing video game developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft, released on March 8th 2016. The game takes place in an alternate near-future, also known as 2015 where a viral epidemic has spread worldwide, causing untold casualties and widespread chaos. In order to restore law and order, the United States Government activates sleeper agents working for the Strategic Homeland Division.
Ignoring the whiplash of memories I got from stepping into yet another global epidemic, this game is much more futuristic than it wants to admit thanks to the advanced SHD tech, and the UI reflects this. Borda, unapologetically futuristic is the sole typeface used for the UI. With a little help from modding tools, the game is specifically using the regular, demi-bold and bold weight. Borda continues to be used as the branding typeface for The Division sub-series.
As for other typefaces, Helvetica Black is used in the game’s logo for “The Division”, whereas “Tom Clancy” is likely custom made. Source Sans is used for the game’s chat window.

In-game HUD. The game heavily utilises in-world HUD elements to mark locations. Whether or not the agents actually see it is a bit of a mystery.
