tl;dr: Blade Runner's title sequence uses a single typeface—Goudy Oldstyle—but wields it masterfully through varied capitalization, letterspacing, small caps, and a signature red italic for "Replicant," establishing the film's dystopian mood far better than the workprint's clumsy Impact. The author uses this as a springboard to argue that typography always conveys feeling, and that the final 10% of obsessive detail work is what separates AI-generated "garbage" from products that feel genuinely crafted by humans. | |
