Font?

I've searched but I can't find it, what's the font used in the game? In normal texts, those that the narrator reads.

It's a recreation of Sierra Font #4. It's labelled as either 4.fon or font.004.

Found in most Sierra resource files for any of their SCI games, this clean typeface is used prominently in Space Quest IV.

Using a program like SCI Viewer will display examples of available fonts, along with text, pictures, sounds, etc. within your Sierra game files.
