Are you familiar with the Alan Moore graphic novel that the film is based on?

I was about to check the typographic style within the original graphic novel myself, but I must have loaned it to somebody, as it’s not on the shelf. Drats. I have no idea who/when I loaned it to - it must have been a long time ago.

I’ll check my copy tonight.

Something like this? ;^)

Yes! I’d forgotten about Priori. Given all the cutlery in the movie I’m sure they want pointy V’s. Johnston’s are flat on the baseline. I’m unfamiliar with the comic or graphic novel. Maybe I should ask my kids...

I’ll check my copy in a minute. I do remember it having predominantly Bank Gothic or something similar. :)

Ok, I have the graphic novel, not the original individual comics. The typography of the novel design is inconsistent, the cover jacket has something like Univers Condensed and Eurostile, inside there seems to be a mixed use of Eurostile/Bank Gothic(!!) and Univers Ultra Condensed (but not quite), the R is different. The combination of eurostile and bank gothic throughout is not pretty at all... almost if the designer(s) did not notice the difference between the two.

There is some ITC Kabel in there! ~ Page numbers and headers are set in ITC Kabel Medium. :)

P.S. The chapters are set in an art deco typeface, drastic.

You’d think any self-respecting totalitarian regime could get their typographic indentity in order...
