WALL·E Font
« Thread Started on Aug 17, 2008, 12:36am »
Hey folks,
I don't know if this has been posted before, nor do I know how many people here are interested in fonts as I am, but here's the font used for Wall·E. It's called Galax·E font and it cost $20.00 (not bad, considering the ridiculous prices of some of the other fonts)

Now you can write letters to friends, family, and other Wall-E fans in style! ;D

I'm still hunting down the font used for the BuyNLarge Logo...

Well, I'm a graphics junkie . . . so guess this'll be my next hit . . . ;D

I think this was posted before, but thanks for reminding me. I forgot about it.

And do let us know if you find the BNL one!

Oh, wow . . . I'd love one (or maybe more)! (I'm terrible at animated gifs.)

I'm gonna watch the movie right now and I'll PM you with some shots I'd like, if you have some time.

Thanks!!!! :-*

Hey folks, sorry for the delayed response...

It seems I can't read the PM's sent to me. I try opening my inbox, but I get this message:

Anyone have the know-how to trouble-shoot this trouble? ???

It has enough of a resemblance to Futura Extra Black Italic that I'd be willing to bet it's a slightly modified iteration of it. The R and N have slight variances, but nothing you probably can't tweak out yourself once it's in illustrator. Apparently the Futura typeface has been released digitally by several different foundries, each very slightly different. It's also possible the one Pixar chose is simply not one that I've seen.

Chillingly, the Reform Party of Canada also used a modified version of the Futura Bold Italic font before it was dissolved to form an even worse party. Although I suppose there's no real evidence that Buy 'N Large was particularly evil, or right-wing, lol.

Upon further examination, I believe the Bitstream release of Futura, Extra Black Italic is the closest match to the one from the film. Adobe's Extra Bold Oblique is probably second, but the R isn't quite as good a match. There are numerous other versions of Futura from many different foundries, but they're quite varied.

The only unfortunate thing about the Bitstream release is that they're still not using true Opentype OTF fonts... just Opentype layout with Truetype outlines; at least that's what it looks like. The Postscript outlines of the *.otf fonts come out smoother in the control panel display, I've found, and the basic programs that can't smooth out font with anti-alias the way Adobe's can.
