The new special issue of French cinema magazine La Septième Obsession is dedicated to James Bond, with a 132-pages focus on the topic.

The layout and typefaces are slightly different from standard issues of the bimonthly magazine. There is one typeface that changes with the subject. Futura Black was chosen for this issue, in reference to No Time To Die. The other typefaces are the same as with every special issue: Druk Text Wide (Commercial Type), Sabon (Jan Tschichold), and Aperçu (Colophon).

  1. does anyone know what the font for the gadget titles is?

  2. Hi Tiban, do you mean the ones in the second image? That’s Aperçu, no? Not all details match 100%, which makes me wonder whether this is maybe an older version. Aperçu has been revised and extended more than once.
