12 TO THE MOON Description

This font is called 12 TO THE MOON, after the movie of the same name. Not sure what you would ever do with it, but I had fun making it and working with it here. The movie is one of very many black-and-white 1950s sci-fi movies that would end up on Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K). It is ever so slightly different from most such films in that it shows a large, integrated, international group of astronauts, but led by a hunky American of course. 12 TO THE MOON is a font that was designed after the movie with the same name. Three times a strange message appears on the screen on the ship, like the animation above. Luckily, the "astrophotographer and pharmacist" Hideko Marata (Michi Kobi, left) is able to translate it. Here I must mention that the alien language translation thing is always problematic; one could fill a book with the lame ways that screenwriters have tried to get around this. Anyway, the same 46 symbols appear again and again and I've made this silly little font out of them. The characters are located at the 0-9, A-Z, and a-j positions.
