(Preface) 'In Typeset in the Future, blogger and designer Dave Addey invites sci-fi movie fans on a visual journey through seven genre-defining classics. Addey delves deep into 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Alien, Blade Runner, Total Recall, WALL•E, and Moon, revealing the design tricks these movies use to transport us to a futuristic, believable reality. Each study is liberally illustrated with film stills, fonts, sidebars, and ephemera, alongside original interviews with Mike Okuda (Star Trek), Paul Verhoeven (Total Recall), Ralph Eggleston and Craig Foster (Pixar), and typographers Stephen Coles and Antonio Cavedoni.
Typeset in the Future is a funny, detailed, and obsessively geeky exploration of how sci-fi movies draw us into their imagined worlds. You'll discover corporate beer, foreshadowing alarm clocks, and zero-gravity toilets, and see how a brief glimpse of Eurostile Bold Extended can set a movie in the future far more effectively than an expensive effects shot. The result is an opportunity to rewatch the movies you love—and to see how they create a compelling vision of the future through typography and design.'
