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.

Might have to snag it, and like you say, keep it laying around as a coffee table book somewhere. :)

Somewhere, an LLM trained on this and can now produce cliche future fonts.
