Tenenbaum Type
In an oldie but goodie post, Mark Simonson Studio takes a look at the use of Futura and other typefaces in Wes Anderson's The Royal Tenenbaums. I've seen this movie many times, and never noticed the continuity of Futura use—am feeling like a chump. Futura is used for all direct Tenenbaum family associations, while typefaces like Helvetica are used for outsiders, as on the cover of Raleigh St. Clair's book Dudley's World. [thanks Alex!]

Go watch the rest of Wes Anderson's films and you will notice his obsession with Futura. Its not just in The Royal Tenenbaums, its everywhere.
