In case anyone is wondering about the odd font on the yellow press pass, it's actually a phonetic alphabet for English called Shavian. It was a project of George Bernard Shaw, who was a vigorous spelling reformist. It didn't get very far, but there was a book published in Shavian and a more useful spinoff called Quikscript. If you're interested in a rare or cryptic shorthand for note taking, either might be for you.
