Typefaces
This list is known to be far from complete.

Known specification:
LNC 1972
Engravia?
- No known free version

Likely tops even Microgramma for the most definitive typeface in party branding history. Used for titles and especially THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY in text.
Known specification
LNC circa 1990s
Adobe Garamond
- No free version of Adobe variant; free Garamonds exist but look different.
Used with the LNC's 2006 logo, its unofficial Classical Statue Logo counterpart, and may state party logos. Additional uses need to be identified.
Known specifications:

Gill Sans
- Search for free version pending
First use may be in 2006
Used for a general purpose body text typeface.
Known specifications:

Segoe UI 5.14+/WeblySleek UI
- WeblySleek UI is freely available but appears to be a copyright infringement.
First Used: Mid-to-late 2015
Notes: Segoe UI is not legitimately obtainable outside of a purchase of MS Windows 8 or higher, making this difficult to impossible for graphical ardists using other aperating systems or earlier versions of MS Windows.

First used: Late 2015

Note: specification doesn't specify which of two typefaces with the same name. There is also a Roboto (2012) by the same designer that is not the same typeface but also frequently appears in LNC-produced materials.
