I googled “font for Diamonds are Forever poster,” and got the answer Helvetica Black. I later saw that there had been an entire font thread on the old forums.
Then @stromberg and I are going back and forth, and I do the same google search again, and the answer comes back Folio.
To summarize: AI Overview says Helvetica Black.
When you click on “Dive Deeper in AI Mode,” Folio becomes the answer.
It’s as if there is more than one Blofeld, or James Bond kills James Bond, or the Frankfurt Airport plays Schiphol, or the Bond girl changes her hair color over the course of one scene.
There’s a lot of false information on Bond fonts out there. I know that somewhere on the interweb, there’s one or the other list on the topic that’s quite good – I just don’t know where to find it right now.
When it comes to fonts, I rely on what I know myself. The job I have for some 15 years now doesn’t require the knowledge any more (magazine work, it’s all one basic design with no need to come up with lots of new things or fonts), so I forgot a lot about it, but when I worked in various advertising agencies in the years before, people came to me before trying to look up a font in the Font Book. When it comes to Bond, I’m more or less a mere fan. But when it comes to fonts and typography, I guess one can still consider me a nerd.
Amazing that they managed to make those awful Steelbook covers the best option of all the Connery 4K releases. Which, they should be, but the quality should be much, much higher across the board.
Also, I didn’t know we picked up a new film in the franchise. Never heard of Diam onds Are Forever
Look at the attack on the oil rig. No money for re-shoots.
And not many people know that once reunited with Tiffany in the water after his swan dive, Bond was supposed to say to her: “This isn’t over yet,” followed by a cut to a safe house in Reno where M, Q, and Moneypenny would be waiting.
Interestingly, Connery was dubbed by a different German actor in DN before the one took over who dubbed him for the most part of his career, and that is the voice I still hear thinking of Connery.
Oh! I watched all German version and recorded them on my Video 2000 recorder from ARD when they were shown the first time on German television, on Dutch television the first seven were just broadcast in 1990. FRWL was somehow shown first on ARD, around my school exams, I still remember all of this.
