Great read otherwise, I know the author mentions their book, I do wonder if he covers the history of how these fonts came to be so standard... for future stuff
As someone who has read the book, it does go through the history and inspiration of modern sci-fi typeset. Great coffee table book. Mainly expands on the articles on the website with more details and graphics.
I kind of wish they had used something other than Eurostyle for the starting font in their example since it is already a font that has become associated with sci-fi.
Still a great article though! More of this please!

Papyrus on the big screen 'til mid-to-late 2030s.
Michroma is a Google Font alternative for Eurostile.
Is the Trajan fad over yet?[1]

Who knew back then that we'd go from less design to no design at all produced by machines.
