I would also recommend checking out the "Typeset in the Future" website [1]. It does a bit of a deep dive on several films, trying to identify the fonts visible, not only on the title logos, but also on labels, in-universe logos, etc. My favorite is the 2001 Space Odyssey one [2]

- fanf2 3y agoThe book is very nice too!
- nickt 3y agoThat's a great site. I though it was generally Microgramma which I first discovered on the front of a Commodore PET for Sci Fi movies. TIL that one of the designers of Microgramma (Aldo Novarese) later designed Eurostyle and they are quite similar looking. To this day I still often label things with TLAs in Microgramma because it looks futurey to me. The Microgramma Wikipedia page has a decent size list of it's use in popular culture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgramma_(typeface) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgramma_(typeface) Thanks for the rabbit hole!
