Dear Brad Bird: Next time you direct a $145 million film, let me know & I’ll send you a font for your on-screen subtitles that’s not Verdana

dear @typogforlawyers, if you direct a big film on a tight budget & schedule, chances are fonts won't ever be your most pressing problem.

.@BradBirdA113 @typogforlawyers I'm surprised Bird would not put more of a premium on visual detail. It's not just about "fonts."

@BradBirdA113 @typogforlawyers Which is too bad, because choosing the right font costs nearly nothing, unlike wardrobe/cars/sets/etc

@H_FJ @typogforlawyers From my experience (typesupply.com/portfolio/type…) it's up to the art department to handle these details, not @BradBirdA113.

It costs TIME, @H_FJ, time! I'm not defending my #%¥! font! I was shown a few sans serif fonts and I picked the 1st that didn't bother me!

@BradBirdA113 what'd you think of the Jack Cardiff doc the other week? You have to have loved it (& him) or I don't know what.
