A designer takes a typographical look at director Wes Anderson's full-body embrace of the Futura font, mainly Bold, in The Royal Tenenbaums. [Adopted Margot appears to favor Futura Medium.]
Yet, as much as Futura is used in the movie, a few other typefaces make their appearances. Interestingly, it is usually in connection to someone or something outside the Tenenbaum family and is usually Helvetica.
It's not surprising that obsessive Anderson should be font-fixated, but the cinetrix is wondering whether there are other films [excluding the Art Deco artefacts from the RKO Radio Pictures years] that are as typographically precise?
And does everyone's favorite font Frere have a line on this? [via MediaNugget]
