I think this is a first for Attila or Rome 2 mods, but I've changed the font from "La Gioconda" to a Lord of the Rings font I found.
Here are the Before and After pictures, it most likely needs a bit of work such as making the font a bit bigger than vanilla, and changing the size of the numbers (if I can work out how).

Before

After

We might create our own font in the future, no idea.

Credits:
Pete Klassen for the font.
Tellos Athenaios and the Europa Barbarorum team for the tool and tutorial.
Gigantus for saving the tutorial and converting it into a PDF.

Yeah I agree it is pretty hard to read and at the moment with the current font I'd prefer vanilla. Still it's a good step, since none of the other Attila or Rome 2 mods have done this yet. I'm probably going to make the font size larger, and try and find/make a font that includes lower case letters, since the current font is all uppercase.

It looks very good for me. Keep this up!

I think it looks great but should probably be larger and/or darker just because it is sometimes hard to read.

Here's the current pack if you want to test it out, it's slightly bigger font (2 font sizes bigger than vanilla, and probably the max size it can go without looking weird).
The plan is to somehow edit the font so it uses the vanilla font numbers, since the custom font numbers are tiny.

I might test out this font as well, suggested by Enpremi, its a very easy but boring/labour intensive process making the font stuff.

I would test it out but that's easy for me to say on my end. xD
