FONTS: Discovery Question

[DEWLine]

I think this may have been discussed here before: there's a font they're using on the ship's user interfaces, not Microgramma Extended, because I've seen it in use alongside the one I'm thinking of. Here's an example of what I mean...

...does this really belong in Fan Art?

Design research.

I *think* it's one of the "Square" weights of FF QType, probably FF QType Square Book?

That definitely it. That's damn impressive you could find it.

@Avro Arrow, thanks. This is what I was looking for. Closer to this weight, I think, but you are definitely on the right track re: font family:

Yes, it actually does as font is often used in fan art....

Fair 'nuff. Was just wond'rin'. personally figured it'd be a better fit for the DSC section but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Forgive being late to the party, but I'm finding it difficult to find the complete mix of technology/display fonts in Discovery and under what parameters the different faces are used. I'm also confused by the screens on the Shenzhou, where you can see —from the reverse side of some bridge panels—digits with slashed zeros; none of the Microgramma or QType variants I've found have slashed zeros, so from what font did those come?
(FYI, I'm only 4 episodes into DSC, so no spoilers please. Other than dates, I already know that part…)

(FYI, when I say "find", I mean in terms of information and not pirated downloads.)

FWIW I thought the Disco fonts looked more like the ”Eero” font used in the signage at Washington Dulles International Airport.

(ETA: ”Eero” was a reproduction of the font used in the IAD project, by graphics designer Christian Schwartz. It wasn’t the actual font, though.)
