If your computer system or TV show needs some futuristic-looking text that’s easy to read in a long-shot, there’s no better choice than Eurostile Bold Extended. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Eurostile Regular and Eurostile Condensed, although it looks like someone forgot to set the first “3” digit to be Condensed – it’s still Regular, unlike all of the other glyphs on that line.) Elysium (Eurostile Regular Extended) The Hunt For Red October (Eurostile Regular Extended) Iron Man 3 (Eurostile Regular Extended, plus a special guest appearance by Bank Gothic) Computers and Screens When and where are we? If it’s set in Eurostile, we are in the FUTURE, and we are in the FUTURE. I’ve captured (and tried to clarify) as many as possible below.

It’s got to the point where the very presence of Eurostile Bold Extended in an opening title card says FUTURE far more effectively than an expensive effects shot: What better way to start than with perennial sci-fi favorite, Eurostile?Įurostile, and in particular its Bold Extended variant, has appeared in countless sci-fi settings over the years.
