Touched by the Font

December 20th, 2007 by willbueche

One can imagine that the designers who made the 2006 DVD packaging for the Jenna Elfman film “Touched” may have googled their own film and came across the 2004 John Mack documentary film “Touched” instead — and fell in love with how “Touched” looked in Univers thin ultra condensed. No other similarities, beyond the font …but still, we noticed.

    ^^Agree, unless however you designed a custom font that is original and the design and over all look & feel has a copyright/trademark.
    That example above shouldn’t even be posted here.

    Find another pair of movies with the same title and the same font, and you’ll have a point.

    Wow, definitely a stretch. Must be running out of content. Not even kerned the same. Are you going to start busting people for using Helvetica?

    Somebody needs to Photoshop that DVD cover, replacing the first “T” with the “D” at the end…
