Typeset... in the Future!
Typography and font choice are often used to create a sense of futurism in movies. Indeed, its got to the point where you can set your calendar to FUTURE simply from the presence of Eurostile Bold Extended on the wall of a passing spaceship.
This site is dedicated to typography and iconography as it appears in sci-fi and fantasy movies and TV shows. Its inspired by the Typeset In The Future trope I added to TV Tropes. (If you know of more good sci-fi font examples, please do add them to that page.)

However, theres a deeper mission at work. In fact, Ill let you in on a secret: this blog isnt really about typography at all. Its about storytelling through design. I wasnt aware of this when I started, but here we are.
This site is written and curated by Dave Addey. You can find me at @daveaddey on Twitter.
Naturally it contains spoilers, so fair warning if you haven't seen "Bladerunner", "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Alien", or "Moon".
But the attention to the details of the movies is very high and it simply makes for a fascinating read for a lazy Sunday morning (after you check out the Sunday LOL cats, of course).
Enjoy!
