BBC SHERLOCK - Title Font analysis

justonelasttrick:

I’m obsessed with everything about Sherlock. Like the music, the camera style, the colors and so on. And now I’m totally into the font.

I know there are a lot of blogs about the font’s. But I would like to make a small analysis about the pretty title font.

First of all:

This is a sans serif font. Basically it means it has no “tails” aka “serif”. Because of this most of this fonts looks a little bit blocky. Examples for other sans serif fonts are: Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, Gill Sans and so on…

The font itself

Most of the time the font for the title is called P22 Johnston Underground. This font was made by Edward Johnston for the London Underground system in 1916.

Actually it’s right. It’s the correct font for a lot of text in Sherlock. But I startet to realise it’s not really the same. You’ll see what I mean.

That’s how the word “Sherlock” looks in P22 Underground (different styles)

(P22 Johnston Regular)

(P22 Johnston Bold)

(P22 Johnston Greek Demi)

You think it looks a lot like the original, aren’t you?

Let’s take a closer look on the title… I made a vector of the title font…

There are a lot of little differences between the P22 font and the title font. If you can’t see, take a closer look to these spots:

Above: Title Font

Below: P22 Regular

Now you can see, there are a lot of differences between these.

So. What’s the point of all these? I just want to show you the awesome title they created based on the underground font. But It’s not the underground font itself.

And!

If you want to use a similar font for a project about Sherlock (or else) there are alternatives (they are not perfect, but free). Because P22 Johnston Underground is a commercial font.

Free alternatives:

London Tube by Jonathan Paterson

Underground by Nick`s Curtis

I hope you liked it a little bit…

Oh wow, thank you! :D

In my works I use the font Gill Sans which is also a commerical font (luckily I got a lot of fonts from my university) and it’s different from the logo - the S, R and K are wrong… the E too… (mostly I modify the S and stretch it a little bit… uh, my typography professor would kill me if he know! :O).

The Gill Sans is based on the Johnston Sans and it’s used in the logo of the BBC :)

Gill Sans Display Bold by Eric Gill (1931)

THIS IS ONE REPEAT PERFORMANCE WE DON’T WANT TO SEE!
Last year Sherlock fans around the world watched in utter disbelief, as The Only Way is Essex beat Sherlock to the YouTube Audience Award at the Baftas 2011. Martin Freeman’s expression said it all and was shared with so many of us at home, when it was revealed that after all their hard work on quite frankly an astounding first series, the public had responded by voting for ITV2’s reality drama as their favourite programme of 2010!
This year Sherlock has once again made the shortlist for the YouTube Audience Award at the Arqiva British Academy Television Awards 2012, and THIS YEAR we want to show the people behind this incredible series how much enjoyed every minute of the incredible second series they gave to us.
The Audience Award is a public vote, which is meant to reward programmes that have “captured audiences imaginations”, and if that doesn’t describe Sherlock exactly, we don’t know what does. The fans proved the power of their vote when they worked together to see Benedict Cumberbatch be ranked in 7th place in the popular vote for the 2012 TIME 100 Poll with almost 92,000 votes in his favour, a truly remarkable number, so the game is on to do it again for Sherlock at the 2012 BAFTAs. 

You can vote for Sherlock in the YouTube Poll HERE

You can only vote once per computer or mobile device - but that means your votes are only limited by the number of devices you own, and every vote you place from a single separate device will be counted, be it computer, tablet or smartphone.
BAFTA have only allowed votes from UK residents.
Please spread the word by reblogging this or using the hashtag #VoteSherlock4Bafta on Twitter and Tumblr when you share the link where to vote. Let’s work together on this one and get the result this incredible team deserves after all their hard work, and send the message to them by doing so, that we love what they do!
