Card and Board Games Once Upon a Time: Expansion+Font Request

Have been having fun with the Dark Tales expansion for OUaT, though did notice the distinct lack of both a Troll card and a Bridge card in the deck, which is annoying, especially because they're on the cover and mentioned first thing in the flavor text on the back of the box. And while Troll can fit under "Monster," it's not the same as having a dedicated card.

Anyway, after deciding to make up those cards, I went with over-completeness (I'm a game designer with a degrees in anthropology/folklore and creative writing) and made up an expansion of all the cards I'd want to see added.

Was wanting to get commentaries on this, and also wanting to ask the regular designers what font they used for the decks so I can print mine out on my blank cards a bit more neatly.

Thanks.

Once he had found the relic, his quest was at long last complete.
She never again asked for more than was her due.
They buried it, hoping no one would ever again touch the accursed thing.
And with that, the feud was finally at an end.
But so long as she lived, she never again heard a song as beautiful.
Ever after, their lives were a bit more peaceful but far less interesting.
She laughed, for the trick had worked.
And stories are still told to this day of his mighty deeds.
But it was no use, for her heart was as cold as ash.
Every year thereafter, folk burned them in effigy and danced upon their graves.
They left for the next town, planning to do the same again.
She cried for joy to see it once more.
And thus the family name was restored to a place of honor.
They had finally found a place to call home.
Which proves that you always get what you pay for.
Yet from that day forward, they were always careful of what they ate.
