I wish I could figure out which font was used one the title card for the show „Your Friends & Neighbors“. It kind of looks like a bold variant of Gotham but not quite.

The title card for the Apple TV+ show „Your Friends & Neighbors“. Jon Hamm is leaned against a metal fence with his hands reaching through like he‘s behind bars in a prison. You can see his house in the background.

This week, not one but two #typefaces joined the exclusive Club 💯 at FontsInUse.com!

Last week was #Berlinale week, the International Film Festival that arrives once a year in our hometown, Berlin. This year, alongside mega stars such as Tilda Swinton, Robert Pattinson and Timothée Chalamet, our very own Pangea made its debut on the film scene.

Pangea Condensed – which was only released last summer – features on both the poster and the lead visual and we absolutely love how it looks!
