From Wikipedia:

Marty Supreme is a 2025 American sports comedy-drama film co-produced and directed by Josh Safdie from a screenplay he co-wrote with Ronald Bronstein, loosely based on the life and career of American table tennis player Marty Reisman. Co-produced by and starring Timothée Chalamet, the film also features Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher in supporting roles.

The main posters feature the title in a stretched and manipulated version of Gill Kayo Condensed and corresponding headers in Neue Helvetica Condensed, including its Heavy style. The billing block is set in Bee Two.

Eric Gill, the designer of Gill Sans, initially called the ultrabold style “Sans Double Elefans”. Released as Kayo, derived from “K.O.” (i.e. knockout in boxing), it feels appropriate for the main movie title on the poster, as it is a very prominent typeface used in sports.

The movie logo compared to a resetting in Gill Kayo Condensed with stretched letterforms. Various subsequent optimizations have been made, see for example the horizontals in T and E, the counters in A and Y, or the bottom of U. In the process, some glyphs like R ended up resembling Gill Sans Extra Condensed Bold.

Harry Lighton’s debut film, Pillion, makes confident use of Tactic Sans, the sharp-shouldered typeface designed by Richard Miller for Miller Type Foundry. Both the teaser posters and the trailer titles are set in Tactic Sans Extra Extended Ultra, stretched across portraits of Harry Melling and Alexander Skarsgård.

Euphoria Fashion is an A24 publication designed by Studio Elana Schlenker and Jordi Ng. The typefaces used in this book are Neue Haas Grotesk (Linotype/Commercial Type) and EK Roumald (designed and published by Erkin Karamemet).

Description from Studio Elana Schlenker’s website:

Euphoria Fashion, written by costume designer Heidi Bivens, offers a deep dive into the iconic fashion of HBO’s hit television series.

The cover is wrapped with a satin-like 4C-printed cloth and stamped with a rainbow holographic foil, both reminiscent of many of the characters’ shimmery costuming.

The book is organized around the show’s main characters, with chapters breaking down their looks and the inspirations behind them. These are punctuated by synopses of key episodes; conversations with cast and crew; Q&As with fashion houses and designers like Coperni and Arianne Phillips; and essays by William Van Meter, Mitchell Kuga, José Criales-Unzueta, and Biz Sherbert. A violet-silver Pantone ink is used throughout to offer pops of metallic contrast.

A24 is an American independent company that specializes in film and television production, and film distribution. It was founded by David Fenkel, John Hodges, Daniel Katz in 2012. Their website is set in NB International and paired with NB International Mono.

NB International was designed in 2012 by Stefan Gandl, released in 2014 and extended with more weights plus the monospaced subfamily in 2021. Compared with other rigid grotesks, Gandl added soft qualities to his typeface family as “each glyph was designed with precise five units radius corners.” In an interview with Basics, Gandl is quoted saying that “Neubau International is based on the same grid as NB Grotesk, but with optical corrections in design and shape.”

Beef (2023) is an American comedy drama miniseries created by Lee Sung Jin for Netflix. It stars Steven Yeun and Ali Wong as two people whose involvement in a road rage incident begins to consume their lives. Appearing in supporting roles are Joseph Lee, Young Mazino, David Choe, and Patti Yasutake.

Beef features Balboa in opening and end credits, and over original artwork from artist and actor David Choe, who plays the character Isaac Cho in the series.

A24's recent publication designed by Studio Elana Schlenker and Jordi Ng. A 574-page hyper-local travel guide book to the most far-out state in America. The book features a puffy cover with blocky, eccentric display typography reminiscent of classic Florida postcards (a modified version of WT Zaft² published by WiseType and designed by Jacob Wise and Céline Hurka). The rest of the book features a range of typefaces including Fátima Lázaro’s Cardone (205TF), Swiss 721 (Bitstream), and Hammer (Out of the Dark).

The colour palette revolves around a “Florida Pink” swatch, a shade of pink that was pulled from the wildlife and architecture of the state. Each chapter of the book corresponds to a different geographical part of the state and begins with a fold-out illustrated map of the locations and landmarks in that chapter. Folios on the side of each page provide strong wayfinding and a sense of location throughout the book.

Edited by Gabrielle Calise and illustrated by Gabriel Alcala, with an introduction by Tyler Gillespie.

There are several posters for Charlotte Wells’ debut film Aftersun. They may be classified based on the fonts in use. Mubi – the UK distributor of the film – favors an unidentified Helvetica version (possibly Nimbus Sans Bold with modifications [edit: it’s AG Book, see comments) for a cropped low-caps title of the movie on its folded poster. A24 – the US distributor – makes use of Avenir Next for an all-caps title.

A third version of the poster employs Base Monospace, which is also used for the opening credits and the title sequence of Aftersun. The latter has been designed by Version Industries (Caspar Newbolt and Josiah Newbolt) on very short notice, according to their website's blog. The typeface was chosen in discussion with Charlotte Wells.

On the official theatrical release poster, Periódico Display UltraBlack is used in all caps for the title. The blurbs are set in Baskerville Original 120, with credits in Akzidenz-Grotesk Condensed.

Illustrator and designer Akiko Stehrenberger was commissioned to create two distinct posters for Joe Talbot’s 2019 film The Last Black Man in San Francisco.

The posters – while having similar aesthetic styles – use different typefaces. The first poster features Periódico, and the second Caslon Graphique. Both use tight and blocky styling to give the film a 1970s feel.

This alternative poster features a centered and tight Caslon Graphique.

Cowboy, Poet, Outlaw, and Madman, is a volume of Val Kilmer’s selected poems written between 1987 and 2020.

The four personas – as strong as the title suggests – require typefaces that can hold up: Saracen from Hoefler & Co., Haltrix from Blackletra, Tripper from Underware, and Schick Toikka’s Chap for titling and text. Evert Bloemsma’s sans serif FF Balance takes a supporting role.

Cloth bound, foil stamped with matching teal painted edges, this handsome book is printed in a single shade of olive green throughout. The book was designed by Strick & Williams and produced by A24.

New England, 1630: William and Katherine try to lead a devout Christian life, homesteading on the edge of an impassible wilderness, with five children. When their newborn son mysteriously vanishes and their crops fail, the family begins to turn on one another. 'The Witch' is a chilling portrait of a family unraveling within their own sins, leaving them prey for an inconceivable evil. — IMDb

An edition of the screenplay for horror film The Witch (2015) uses period typefaces DTL Flamande (with its roman caps) and DTL GrosCanon, both based on the work of Hendrik van den Keere. They are complemented by ABC Monument Grotesk Mono. Designed by Actual Source for film production company A24. Commentary: Creative Review, company website, designer JP Haynie on Twitter (and more in response to this post).

Their religious beliefs may indirectly connect the movie characters with Van den Keere’s type: Mayflower passenger and devoted Puritan Separatist William Brewster before emigrating to Massachusetts was a printer in Leiden, printing with types from Arent Corsz Hogenacker. Hogenacker had succeeded to part of Van den Keere’s type foundry. I don’t know if Brewster used van den Keere’s types (see this extremely thorough two-part article by John A. Lane on Hogenacker: part 1, part 2, although it's focused on types Hogenacker engraved himself). Hogenacker's foundry building still stands at number 86 Haarlemmerstraat in Leiden (more photos) with a 1630 statue he commissioned of Laurens Coster.
