The Overlooked Typographic Choices in Star Wars

You might not think much about the fonts in Star Wars, but the typographic choices were surprisingly straightforward. Rather than using cliché "spacey" sci-fi fonts popular in 1970s films, Star Wars opted for clean, readable typefaces even for things like the opening crawl and subtitles. This kept the film feeling relatable despite its fantastical setting. As @StarWarsFonts points out, they avoided trendy fonts like Westminster and Data 70 that scream "retro sci-fi." It's a small but impactful design decision that contributed to Star Wars' enduring accessibility. #starwars #typography #Design #fonts #behindthescenes
