While I used the term “sci-fi fonts” in the title of this article, I think it would’ve been better to go with “futuristic typefaces.” That didn’t seem to flow off the tongue as nicely, however, so I went with the former.

Dec 8, 2023 · An alternate logo designed by Michael Doret caught the attention of Alien fans who were divided by the creation.
