Are there any plans to make a sequel to JJ Abrams’ version of “The Star Trek Movie”?

#145 – Thanks for the tip on the TMP subtitles. I found a free font–Koshgarian–which mimics it quite effectively.

#121 Yes, as a professional Graphic Designer, I’m a fan of the rounded E myself. IIRC, the closing credits of TOS (probably Season 3) used the non-italic version, which did not have the rounded E, so I think it’s a variation that only appears in the italic version.

#100 From MyFonts.com: “Horizon was inspired by the style of the lettering used in the original Star Trek TV series. It was designed in 1992 by Bitstream staff designers.” Does anyone know what the font was originally called, and if it was specifically created for TOS (like TMP was)?

#101 You are correct. I remember researching this myself many years ago, and was disappointed to learn that it was originally referred to as “calligraphic font”, without an actual name. I even had the US Patent Office send me a printout of the font (for a fee, of course) because I was so in love with it (especially that R). I also got to see the lower-case letters for the first time, years before they were used on-screen in STVI:TUC.

BTW, does anyone know what font was used for the subtitle “THE MOTION PICTURE”? It is clearly not Galaxy. Looks like an extended version of Handel Sans EF, for those of you who know.

Great article, Thorsten! Would like to see a similar one on ST TV titles, starting with “The Cage”.

It’s a tad frustrating to read “it’s” for “its” throughout.
