# Typeset in the Future (Dave Addey)

Dave Addey's [typesetinthefuture.com](https://typesetinthefuture.com) is a long-running close-reading blog about the typography, set design, UI, and graphic design of science-fiction films. The signature posts are scene-by-scene takedowns of single movies — *Alien*, *Blade Runner*, *2001*, *Moon* — tracking every typeface, sign, and on-screen UI. The book *Typeset in the Future: Typography and Design in Science Fiction Movies* (2018, Abrams) collects and extends the blog work.

The tone is affectionate and exhaustive — the kind of analysis that catches the same Eurostile cut in seventeen different movies and treats the recurrence as a real thing worth explaining.
