V for Vendetta and what font to use
V for Vendetta, my favourite Alan Moore comic next to Promethea, follow the story's title character and protagonist, V, an anarchist revolutionary dressed in a Guy Fawkes mask, as he begins an elaborate and theatrical revolutionist campaign to kill his former captors, bring down the fascist state, and convince the people to abandon fascism in favour of anarchy, while inspiring a young woman, Evey Hammond, to be his protégée.
And this is the font used in the original comics:
It's quintessentially anti-establishment tone is just one of the reasons I want to nod to this work in my inflatable piece.
The guy fawkes mask used in the film adaptation was adopted by Anonymous, the online hacktavist group.
Since then it has become a key symbol for protests around the globe.
The font used in that film in called Future Book.
It's is licensed here:
And this is the font used in the original comics:
My daughter Annabelle was born on bonfire night. I've always said that if I didn't blow up parliament at least once for her birthday then I'd be a failure as a mother.
Anyway, I'll think on the font.
