006. Paul Mendoza: The Hollywood Font

“I do consider writing to be a really essential form of design and it’s the words themselves as well as how they’re laid out on a page.”

Paul and I chat about Courier as the linchpin behind the scenes of Los Angeles typography.  As the standard face for all motion picture and television screenplays, Courier's monospaced letterforms built the City of Angels into the entertainment capital of the world. While other businesses evolve their communication design past the hallmarks of the typewriter era, the movie & TV industries remain faithful to Courier and stay connected to Hollywood’s golden age.
