#facinatingfonts

Some of the typefaces used for 20 Shots of Opera, each bespoke for the opera in question. The designer went to a lot of trouble to view the films and interpret each opera creating a bespoke font for each. A big job for 20 operas. Some are very literal - like Dust, but the colour matches the palette of the opera design. In La Corbière - about a shipwreck - we see the light stream from a lighthouse. The typeface for A message for Marty matches the instant messaging it portrays. Touch clearly reflects the isolation and separation of the two singers, while A Patient Woman reflects the period of the setting of the opera. Plenty of material to ponder.

Looking for inspiration among the many different typefaces from 20 Shots of Opera - really interesting how the designer decided on the bespoke look for each
