While watching the latest James Bond flick, the Quantum Of Solace, I couldn’t help but notice the beautiful typography used throughout the film. Whenever visiting a new location in the film there would be a short intro shot showing you where the events are taking place. Enjoy.
I feel like I’m missing one of them, if I find it I’ll be sure to add it.

Great post! I was admired watching this example of typography in QoS. My favs are all of them despite ‘La Paz’ which imho doesn’t suit.
Cool. Great typography. Thanks.
Hi Jeremy,
My thoughts exactly, I love the typefaces used throughout the movie, even the title sequence and of course the QoS logotype itself. Do you know what typeface they used for the titles?
Today I went back to watch Casino Royale again, again very impressive titles!
@Andrew – I’m not aware of what typefaces used, but I do know that the ones used for the location titles(the ones pictured in this post) were custom made by these guys at tomato.co.uk
Whoa, lots of good type here, great stuff, going to Delicious.
Very nice article and examples. Off to Stumble.
It is beautiful typography.
No one mentioned it, but in case anyone was/is wondering, MK12 (http://www.mk12.com/) is the design firm responsible for the titles. I stayed after to check the credits
You are definitely missing one… I think it is one of the Haiti titles… It had a woodcut/”circus poster” look about it. That was my favourite one!
Very subtle touch to the movie. And I think it is very nice.
I love the typography.
Haha, I was thinking to myself as I was watching the movie, “boy, this would make a good blog post.” Glad someone did it!
Neutraface was used for the credits…simply stunning!!!
Amazing fonts each working perfectly for the titles.
You’re sure missing one, the fonts used in the intro animation were AWESOME!
I’d pay lots for it
Good post

It was the best part of the film.
Do you know where they are available for upload/purchase?
I doubt that you can purchase them. They were custom made by the guys at tomato.co.uk.
Neutraface (used in the opening sequence/credits) is available from House Industries.

House Industries didn’t do those. MK12 made a custom font for the main title sequence.

I stumbled upon CodeKit this afternoon while looking for LESS compiler, so I'm giving it a whirl. http://t.co/6kgM3Ufd 1 day ago
