KELLY OSBOURNE is Fontbank's Dicot Bold. Copies float around as RandyBecker-ExtraBold aka Digital-Bold aka DigitalSerial-ExtraBold aka Modaerne Heavy aka Continuum Bold. The latter is here on dafont.

Shut Up is handwritten.

Thank you! The "shut up" font is not hand written. I used to own it on an old computer and used it for a design back in 2005, but I cannot find it. Thank you again!

Original is Digital Sans Bold by Elsner+Flake (1974).

Down-voting doesn't change the facts. All of the fonts listed previously are knock-offs (questionably legal) of Digital Sans, most particularly Continuum.

Designed in 1974. Elsner+Flake was founded in 1986. Did Veronika Elsner and Günther Flake get a little help from Doctor Who to make their version the original??
Or did they just digitize an existing (Brendel Type Studio?) typeface?

Sol Thin, Plain, Heavy & Fat are the typeface for VGC (Typositor).

"Based on the classic Sol design by Marty Goldstein and C.B. Smith, published by VGC in 1973"

Thanks Claude, now us up here and them down under know that the original is designed by C.B. Smith/Marty Goldstein and that the Digital[Sans] is a mere copy of Sun and far from being the original.

@ conman, didn't I mention Continuum as being a copy? Dicot and Sol (Helios) seem to be the first digital versions.

My apologies. As mentioned, all are based on Sol by Marty Goldstein and C. B. Smith, published by VGC in 1973.

The problem is only 2 of the digital versions actually acknowledge this and provide a credit. I respect that as it honours the original creator/s.

@koeiekat You suggested Continuum by Brøderbund Software, "a shady company that sold a 10,000+ truetype font CD", most of which "are shamelessly renamed fonts from elsewhere" and for which I did not agree represented a proper choice, considering the total lack of information regarding its origins.

I think Digital Sans Bold or Sol Bold are far more respectable and complete choices. But hey, that's just me.

conman, I linked to Continuum because it is available (should not be) here on dafont. All the others except Sun are only on doubtful if not stinking sites. Did not mention ICG Sun in the first place as it seemed to be a slightly less match than the others.

Digital Sans is by Brendel and Brendel aka B&P Graphics aka QBF aka etc. is known as a notorious copier of type designed by others which makes respectable not really the appropriate description - imho.
