I saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last week. I liked it well enough, as I've liked all the Indiana Jones movies (except maybe for the one with Kate Capshaw). But, I did have some trouble making the shift from the first three movies being set in the late ’30s to Crystal Skull being in the late ’50s. Could my inability to accept Indy fighting Cold War-era Russians instead of Pre-WWII Nazis have anything to do with… fonts?
Probably not. But, Mark Simonson’s “Indiana Jones and the Fonts on the Maps” explores where the Indiana Jones series has broken with historical accuracy of… fonts.
If anything, the article proves that I’m not nearly the font freak that I thought I was. Whew.
