Eurostile


I found out that Eurostile was made in 1962. Although it wasn't from the year 1969. I researched the font and it has been used for many science fiction movies, posters, novels etc.. which also seemed ideal for the quote i am portraying. I also really like this sans-serif font. Its big and blocky but with nice smooth rounded edges to it. I think it looks neat big or small and whether its bold or regular. This is why is chose to work with this font.


It's a geometric sans-serif typeface designed by Aldo Novarese in 1962. Novarese originally made Eurostile for one of the best known italian foundries, Nebiolo, in Turin.


He developed it because although he had designed the similar microgramma, which came with a variety of weights, it had only upper-case letters. A decade later he designed Eurostile which added lower-case letters, a bold condensed variant, and an ultra narrow design he called Eurostile compact, for a total of seven fonts.


It is a very popular display font. It's linear nature suggests modern architecture, with an appeal both technical and functional. The squarish shapes with their rounded corners evoke the appearance of television screens of the 1950's and 60's. As such, it has found some popularity in contemporary graphic design, as well as in science fiction novels and film artwork.
