Following on from a previous blog post earlier this month, Film\u2019s Favourite Font?<\/a>, we recently came across another of our typefaces being used on a Movie poster.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bourgeois<\/a> has been spotted by Yves Peters<\/a> in a recent article<\/a> on the font feed<\/a>. Yves writes “The poster for Steven Soderbergh\u2019s latest, The Girlfriend Experience, kicks all kinds of ass. The image treatment is fascinating, with another image invading and violating the girl\u2019s close-?up portrait through a pattern of dots similar to a half-tone pattern. It is reminiscent of the gorgeous androgynous mesh of Louise Rhodes\u2019 and Andy Barlow\u2019s faces inside the CD booklet of What Sound by Lamb.<\/p>\n The square sans used at the bottom of the poster is not Bank Gothic nor its usual replacement FF Oxide, but quite unexpectedly Jonathan Barnbrook\u2019s Bourgeois, an exquisite choice. And that bar code \u2013 it possibly relates to the commerce of sex, prostitution being the main theme of the movie \u2013 adds that certain je-ne-sais-quoi to the design. Lovely, lovely..”<\/p>\n Thanks Yves!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Following on from a previous blog post earlier this month, Film\u2019s Favourite Font?, we recently came across another of our…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3060,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[48,34],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
