Eurostile, its precursor Microgramma, and the very similar Bank Gothic, are sans-serif fonts used in many Science Fiction films to give a futuristic feel. In fact, they have been used so often that the presence of these fonts in the credits or set design now actually helps viewers to quickly understand the setting of the scene. They are most commonly used in their bold extended versions. Common uses of Eurostile (typically its extended font) include signs on the inside (and outside) of spaceships; important text on computer display screens (especially those that need to be readable in long shots); dramatic film titles; and overlays on positioning shots to establish the location and / or chronology of the scene. A namesake blog keeps track of productions using typefaces like this. Attempts to avert this, like several depiction, usually 90s fiction, of the future with stylized texts, resulted in an Unintentional Period Piece with all those weird-looking "futuristic" fonts, as legible typesets are Truth in Television come the 2010s onward. Compare and contrast Foreign-Looking Font when used in an historical context. See also We Will Use WikiWords in the Future. |

Occasionally seen on Red Dwarf, most notably as the lettering on Starbug. Became more common in later seasons (earlier, signage was mostly in a "stencil" font, to give the feel of a Used Future). Across all seasons, almost all text displayed on monitors and screens were written in Eurostile Extended. It was even used in the credits sequences until Series IV, and again from Series X onwards. The Red Dwarf name painted on the exterior of the ship is Eurostile Bold. |

Doom³ and Doom (2016) primarily use Eurostile or Microgramma. Averted with the classic games and Doom Eternal, which primarily uses more stylized fonts (for Eternal, apart from the title part of "Eternal" that is written with typeset, most, if not all human or UAC made structure still use typesets). | |

Mass Effect rather famously uses Korataki for EVERYTHING, including menu headers, ship names, room names, high score boards and more (it's perhaps only more well-known as the font used for the Terminator logos). The font used for the word "Effect" in the logo was Handel Gothic up until Mass Effect: Andromeda and the Legendary Edition of the original trilogy, and it was also used as the body text for the first game (starting with the second game, it was replaced with Myriad Pro). | |

Ever since Star Trek: The Motion Picture, exterior markings on all Federation spacecraft were set in Eurostile Bold Extended. In the alternate universe created in Star Trek (2009), Eurostile (Regular) Extended is used instead. A special font, Starfleet Bold Extended (identical to Eurostile but with red borders drawn around each letter), was created for the forward-facing hull registry on the primary saucer, and was used on nearly every Starfleet vessel in a film or series set after The Motion Picture. Machine Extended, the font used in the original series, was used on Star Trek: Enterprise and on the Kelvin in the 2009 film. |

In its sequel, 2010: The Year We Make Contact, all the Russian signage aboard the Leonov is set in Eurostile Bold Extended modified with Cyrillic letters. This wasn't done completely accurately: for example, an inverted V is used for the Cyrillic equivalent to L, making it look like the Greek Λ (used in Bulgarian, Macedonian and Serbian) instead of the more correct Russian Л. | |
