The Martian Poster

07/30/2018

Poster for the science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott. This is the film version of the 2011 novel about an astronaut stranded on Mars who survives on his own. The font used is Bourgeois, a clean sans serif with a geometric impression, and the title of the hardcover edition of the novel is also in solid white sans serif, combining the image of science fiction equipment and solitude.

Typeface

Bourgeois is a squarish geometric font that plunders mid-century modernism and gives it a contemporary edge. It speaks with a distinctive self-assuredness that makes it highly-suited to branding and identity work. With 24 styles in its 2016 form, Bourgeois is one of our most extensive, versatile and widely-used typefaces.
