Have you seen the latest Mission Impossible?
Did you like it?
Did you notice the font used for the subtitles and captions?
This guy did:
Matthew Butterick
Have you ever heard of him?
Matthew Butterick is a type designer. He has a degree in art from Harvard, focusing on graphic design and typography.
After seeing director Brad Bird’s film, he sent Bird a letter regarding the font choice used for captions and subtitles in the film.
For all of you who love good typography, please, read and enjoy!
You’re welcome ;-).

GREAT movie…but an even greater letter 🙂 Personally, I’d like to see the response (if would comes) from Brad Bird.

A response would be awesome.

Loved the movie– hated the subtitles as well.

Did he send a similar letter to James Cameron for Avatar? You know what I’m talking about…

Agh! The dreaded Papyrus font… I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that pop up. Totally took the movie down a notch for me.

You know that’s right!
