In Typeset in the Future, blogger and designer Dave Addey invites sci-fi movie fans on a journey through seven genre-defining classics, discovering how they create compelling visions of the future through typography and design. The book delves deep into 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Alien, Blade Runner, Total Recall, WALL·E, and Moon, studying the design tricks and inspirations that make each film transcend mere celluloid and become a believable reality. These studies are illustrated by film stills, concept art, type specimens, and ephemera, plus original interviews with Mike Okuda (Star Trek), Paul Verhoeven (Total Recall), and Ralph Eggleston and Craig Foster (Pixar). Typeset in the Future is an obsessively geeky study of how classic sci-fi movies draw us in to their imagined worlds—and how they have come to represent “THE FUTURE” in popular culture.

A look at the typographic futura Most movie-goers probably don't realise how realistic the future looks in sci-fi productions. Set designers and art directors create a very plausible feel and look for the years to come with buildings, props, fashion, lighting and of course type, whether it's those huge numbers on the outside of the USS Enterprise in 'Star Trek' or the text on a tablet's screen in 'Moon' Dave Addey explores this rather niche corner of sci-fi in his surprisingly interesting book.The all-time fave futures type is Eurostyle Bold Extended designed in 1962 by Aldo Novarese for the Italian Nebiolo type foundry and even though it's over fifty years old it still looks the part and can still be used to project a future feel. This was the typeface that Addey kept coming across in movies and inspired him to find out more and eventually write this book. Seven films are looked at in detail: 2001; Alien; Star Trek: The motion picture; Blade Runner; Total Recall; Wall-E; Moon. The typefaces in all of these are explored with plenty of stills and text revealing how they are used right down to the smallest bit of copy, for example, page thirty-six has a still from 2001 showing Doctor Floyd reading the long instructions on how to use a zero-gravity toilet and it's printed out on the opposite page so you can read them. The long running Star Trek used several faces that were issued as a font pack in 1992 (still available online, too). Total Recall, on page 170, has a logo for Mars Today based on the USA Today newspaper.As well as the movies there are heavily illustrated Q and A interviews with two typographers Stephen Coles and Antonio Cavedoni, director Paul Verhoeven, animators Ralph Eggleston and Craig Foster and designer Mike Okuda. The last few pages have fascinating visual summary of how hard it is to create a credible future look that's also good entertainment.Dave Addey writes in a pleasant, breezy style that makes the title a fun read and the rather flamboyant layout of the pages adds to the book's appeal. It will interest graphic designers and especially sci-fi movie fans.A must-read for geeks! Fascinating and detailed analysis of (not only font) design in science fiction movies. Beautifully produced, wonderfully written. Highly recommended!Fascinating in-depth "dissertations" on the design/typeset choices made by great Sci-Fi movies This is a must-have for any design/type nerd with a penchant for sci-fi and modern/futuristic interfaces. I discovered The authorthrough his wonderful blog, and after reading his amazing articles on '2001: A Space Odyssey' and 'Wall•E' I was delighted to discover that he had a book. Do yourself a favor and check out his blog and bathe in the design geekery. Surely you will discover that you need to own this book!
