What’s an Appropriate Font for ‘Anal?’

Indiana Jones and the Fonts on the Maps

Whenever Indy is traveling great distances, which happens in all the films, there is a montage of the airplane or boat superimposed over an animated map showing the route. It’s an old-fashioned convention, an homage to the movies of the Thirties and Forties. Unfortunately, the typefaces would be more at home a few decades later.

We all know getting the physics right is the only thing that matters. Everything else gets filed under “willing suspension of disbelief.”
