Major usage
First Mario typeface
The first Mario font is an uneven sans serif typeface designed by Nintendo in 1988. It is used for the logos and, later, interfaces of Mario games from Super Mario Bros. 3 to Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Though mostly the same, a second version of the font was designed in 1996 for Super Mario 64, which would take over as the primary version from then on.
It was replaced with the second Mario font that appeared in Super Mario 3D Land, though the first Mario font was still used through Paper Mario: Sticker Star, albeit the game logo uses the second Mario font.
