Typeset in the Future
When a sci-fi movie resonates with audiences, a curious thing happens: its design and typography helps shape our collective vision of the future. Dave Addey's Typeset in the Future: Typography and Design in Science Fiction Movies examines this phenomenon through the lens of seven classic films: 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Alien, Blade Runner, Total Recall, WALL·E, and Moon. In addition to those essays, the book also includes interviews with insiders like director Paul Verhoeven, Pixar designers Ralph Eggleston and Craig Foster, and font designer/Eurostile expert Antonio Cavedoni.
