I worked on a suite of custom typeface revivals (some strict, some loose) to give the film a unique typography. For the main display type, I created a face inspired by Bauer’s Corvinus. For supporting and smaller text, I attempted a rather faithful digital revival of another Bauer face, Venus. A typeface that has gotten a bit of love over the last few years (decades?), but I never liked how far other interpretations went in “fixing” it. I wanted to keep its eccentricities intact for the film.

Beyond my contributions, and therefore my bias, it's a truly fantastic film, and I am beyond lucky to have been able to be involved. If you're in NY or LA, I would highly recommend checking it out. Hopefully it will make it to the rest of the US and parts of Europe in the next month or so. Don't just take my word for it, it's been getting some shine in the press as well: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/09/23/a-different-man-movie-review-the-substance
