While I didn't care much for "Rebel Moon", this blog post from a graphics designer who worked on the movie details the meticulous process of designing the fonts and typefaces to reflect the different aspects of its world.

This is a cool article, and the art is impressive.

If you expect Rebel Moon to be a terrible movie going in, it's actually a lot of fun.

Honestly, the way to make Rebel Moon a good movie would be:

  1. Have it be directed by Vin Diesel.
  2. Have Riddick be the first character Kora recruits.
  3. Make the movie mostly about Riddick, with Kora as a supporting character / love interest.
  4. Change very little else.

Oh absolutely! Riddick 2 was a "bad" movie that I could get behind. It captured so much of WH40K worldbuilding without actually being one.

The progression of alphabets reminded me very much of the ones used in the game "Chants of Sennaar". Wonder if there's any connection.
