#typespecimens

This is a typeface I developed a few years ago, initially as part of a logo project but it didn’t end up being used for that. Various versions of it have popped up in my work and on my my insta page on occasion, but I thought I would do a little specimen showcase because that is what people who design typefaces usually do. (And have a little fun with alliteration too 🤓) . . #typespecimens #specimen #typeface #fontsinuse #fontdesign #typedesign #typo #itsnicethat #fontoftheday #typefacedesign #typefacedesigner #typesample #generaleclectics #typetopia #typedaily #typeeverything #eyeondesign #typecollect #typeswiss #type01 #tdkpeepshow #thetypists #graphicplanet #graphicindex #graphicvault #grvphicworld #curatory #typedepartment #contemporarytype #365typefaces https://www.instagram.com/p/CSZoc5Xr3DG/?utm_medium=tumblr

Typeset in the Future: Typography and Design in Science Fiction Movies / Available at www.draw-down.com / Writer and designer #DaveAddey invites #scifi movie fans on a journey through seven genre-defining classics, discovering how their typography and design create compelling visions of the future. Delving deep into 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Alien, Blade Runner, Total Recall, WALL·E, and Moon, this book studies the design tricks and inspirations that make each film transcend mere celluloid and become a believable reality. Studies are illustrated by film stills, concept art, #typespecimens and ephemera, plus original interviews with Mike Okuda (Star Trek), Paul Verhoeven (Total Recall), and Ralph Eggleston and Craig Foster (Pixar). #Typeset in the #Future is an obsessively thorough study of how classic sci-fi movies draw us into their imagined worlds—and how they have come to represent “THE FUTURE” in popular culture.
