Classification Geometric Sans Serif
Year Created 2008
Historical Background GALAX·E is a bold extended typeface of the Sans Serif variety that has straight angles and rounded edges. In fact, the letters look advanced and
technological. They have a distinct geometric style that is very futuristic looking. The Designer David Occhino made the typeface and digitalized it in March 2008.
It has both, upper and lower case. Beside the regular style it has a outline, shadow and a circled style. Gunship by Dan Zadorozny was very similar in the design,
but it has differnet styles then GALAX·E. The typeface is more meant for titles and in particular it is used in the movie WALL·E.
GALAX·E is a bold, futuristic font that combines straight angles and rounded edges for an advanced, technological look.
A unique feature of this all-caps font is that the capital letters are centered within a circle. Version 2.0 adds lowercase letters
and a new version, "Circled." This font was inspired by the lettering from Pixar’s animated movie "WALL·E" with additional
characters created and digitized by David Occhino.
The bold extended typeface seen on WALL·E’s front plate is Gunship, designed by Dan Zadorozny, one of the unsung heroes of modern sci-fi type design. Dan is an amateur type designer from Texas whose Iconian Fonts website features
more than six hundred free hand-crafted typefaces, many of which have been used by sci-fi movies, TV shows, and book designers. In addition to WALL·E’s front plate, Gunship is seen on Earth and aboard the Axiom, the
flagship spacecraft of megacorporation Buy n Large (BnL, for short), most notably for robot-facing wall and door typography. Its upper- and lowercase variants include different combinations of cutouts and curve orientations, giving designers
flexibility when crafting robot signage. (Strictly speaking, this means that our hero’s name, correctly capitalized, is “waLL·e,” with the interpunct as a further customization Gunship’s own interpunct is rectangular.)
