Resident Evil 7: Biohazard video game
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a survival horror game developed and published by Capcom, initially released on January 24th of 2017. The players control Ethan Winters, a seemingly average man in search of his missing wife, Mia, who disappeared three years ago. After receiving an email from her, it led him down to a plantation in Louisiana. Released after years of excitement and some trepidation from fans and the industry alike, the game has been widely praised and is largely credited for reviving the Resident Evil franchise among other achievements.
Resident Evil 7 is the first entry to use Plak Extra Condensed for the franchise’s logo, replacing Compacta Bold which was used in prior games such as the original Resident Evil. “Biohazard” uses Rama Gothic Rounded. In-game, the user interface primarily uses Franklin Gothic Book, which actually fits the Southern Gothic aesthetic very well. Futura is used more sparingly as a heading font of sorts and Rodin is used exclusively for the subtitles, possibly for localization reasons. Digital similarly is rarely used but can be spotted in number counters and the main menu.
