The Grand Theft Auto series of games have used a number of different font typefaces over the years. Each game uses a different set of fonts for the main Grand Theft Auto title, game names, and in-game text including HUD components and subtitles. The most common font associated with the series is "Pricedown" which has been used on all titles since Grand Theft Auto III. "Pricedown" is based on the logo of the TV game show The Price Is Right, and was designed by typographer Ray Larabie.
