Letters Are My Friends

Still great.

Enter the Void Like sighs from a scythe in a wheat field of psychosis, the opening title sequence for Gaspar Noé’s Enter the Void is a melting onslaught of typographic design foisted upon the senses. This unrelenting visual overdose hacks pleasurably at the viewer, as the tip of a nail does....

Check out this visual communication diploma of ZHdK Design's student Filip Despotovic: SUBTYPE. https://visualcommunication.zhdk.ch/diplom-2020/subtype/ --- We really like the concept and hope to really see this working in a framework and not just as a proposal....

""[...] Once you overcome the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films [...]", said B**g Joon Boss when he received the Golden Globe for his Korean language film “Parasite” in January 2020. Subtitles are still a necessary evil for many viewers.
With the boom in streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ and Apple TV, the range of foreign-language films and series is not only becoming increasingly accessible, it is also growing at the same rate since international content is now deliberately produced. This means that viewers are inevitably confronted with subtitles. Unfortunately, despite their rich history - from the origins of subtitles in silent films to current autogenerated subtitles on video platforms - film subtitles have remained unformed and unaesthetic to this day. So it happens that in a 250 million dollar film production, you still come across bizarrely distorted subtitles in Arial that are posted at the bottom of the screen.
Subtype is a proposal for a user-friendly film subtitle font adapted to the medium, specifically designed for use on video platforms on the internet. Not only has the typeface been designed and adapted for high reading speed on displays of all sizes, but with the current technical means of font and web design, it also goes beyond existing subtitle conventions. In 2020, subtitles no longer need to be static, but should be able to respond to content as well as dialogue. Especially for the deaf, variable subtitles will be offered, which integrate information about dialogue volume, music played and background noises directly into the typeface to make information that is difficult to understand more comprehensible.
