What I want to know is what typeface is used in-game for the “handwritten font,” “skyrim books font.”

Hi djbro,
All typography shown in this post uses Futura Condensed, and most of it uses its Medium weight.
Are the numbers shown on the Character Skill screen Futura also?
Yes.
Salve, vorrei sapere quale è il font utilizzato nel logo del gioco, solo la scritta “Skyrim”.
[translated] Hi, I would like to know which font is used for the game logo, just the word “Skyrim”.
Hello Gabriel, I assume you are talking about this logo, yes? I’m afraid it’s custom, and not a readily available font. If the letterforms are based on a font, they were probably heavily modified.
There are various books in game for players to read. Are those also Futura don’t?
I don’t know. Do you have an image?
