#4

LanterN

Looks nice. I think I've seen this font before, but don't quote me on that.

#5

-1 Frags – +

LanterNLooks nice. I think I've seen this font before, but don't quote me on that.

it's because it looks very similar to deli hud (which uses bebas neue (i think))

EDIT:
PT sans looks nice: http://i.imgur.com/DneBnh4.png
It has a nice narrow version: http://i.imgur.com/u8IbJYg.png
Bubblegun Sans has nice numbers and RED/BLU: http://i.imgur.com/zn3OenO.png
Some of its other letters are annoyingly detailed, though: http://i.imgur.com/PHYPe6d.png
Passion One looks nice: http://i.imgur.com/HOTHQUk.png

What's the point? Why did you pick this font in particular over the other two million, practically-identical condensed sans-serifs that are actually suited for purposes like these? Oswald seems like it'd be much better suited for web journalism and blogging; it looks as if it wasn't designed to be set in uppercase at such large sizes. Why not just instead choose some Helvetica Condensed knockoff and be done with it?

In this case you can use Bebase-Neue and League-Gothic both incredibly amasing fonts.

Looks really similar to Bebas Neue.
I like it on centralized type huds.
