Thanks for all the excellent suggestions!

Gonna be using font from Weazl's UI at the moment (which was Prototype by the way). Liked Florencesans33 and Neuropol aswell but they were a bit too wide - all the texts would need to be truncated heavily to use them. Also Blue Highway Bold has a nice typeface but when testing the characters somehow seemed too small for their spaces.

Also from my experience a word of advice for anyone else who seeks to replace the fonts used:

Placing the fonts in \Fonts folder and naming them arialn.ttf or something like that so they'd replace the default fonts used is the easier option. However it creates a big mess, because you no longer have the default Arial Narrow font available and every element that used it is now using the new font whether you like it or not.
The better way to add fonts in my experience was to use Shared Media Additional Fonts mod and add customs fonts via editing the .lua file.

Anyway I am sorted for now - thanks for suggestions and tips you lot.
