We love the typography on the new James Bond film

Bond typography

We all went on a company outing to see the new Bond film, Quantum of Solace. Most of us loved the film, but some of us particularly liked the typography. I personally loved the intro sequence which was put together by MK12. A legend of a motion graphics company.

The Quantum of Solace logo is made from a typeface called Neutraface by House industries. This typeface is just fantastic and there are so many font weight variations which all look dead sexy.

The beautiful location intro typefaces were handcrafted by Tomato. It was nice to see this attention to detail rather than the typical way of dealing with location typography.

I like the idea that in future, we'll all use big-ass glass tables with touch screens that magically know what to do! It's all about finger gestures from on people ...
