As of late, let's say more or less than the last 4 years, just write crap in blog, I thought it would be nice to spend as few lines to a serious issue and curious little transcendental no doubt, but at least a little serious to give another image to this Blog chichinabo. The truth is that not the first time I touch interesting topics, ever since I lost time with that, but it is very true that there have been too many times and maybe I would have to raise a small baby step in that direction. By giving content to issue more than anything.
But let the issue, because those who have the good fortune to know me know that if a director I like and I never miss one of his movies that's Woody Allen. I would say of his films I like almost anything or everything. The New Yorker staging is sensational and portrays a fantastic city, full of life stressful, but you never tire of discovering and why a server would walk to exhaustion. Woody takes out the most out of remote areas of Central Park, Greenwich Village cafes, hidden places in Soho, or even the majesty of the story of Park Avenue on the Upper East Side, an area in which I the pleasure of staying at my first visit to the Big Apple.
Another thing I love about film is its dialogues. They're hot, funny, cynical and crazy but always brimming with intelligence. Talks between the characters in a Allen film is to go slow process to go find those little gems that the director introduced in the texts. They are great, like all soundtracks, it can not stop playing even a minute during movies. The music, always well chosen, quality and what is best, takes you by the hand during the whole film without a break. Woody Allen to the weight of the music in the film is almost as much as the same script, so from beginning to roll the tape one can taste great themes of jazz and often in classical music.
Those are the points more or less plain to see in a Woody Allen movie. But there is something slightly more hidden, and I love it because it is part of the iconography of the director who had long asked me and I finally decided to seek answers. In general I have never stopped much to read the credits of the film, the truth, as they come to the end and you're a little hat to sit there for as soon as I leave The End makes beeping, though I know it is wrong and should I do not serve them. But Woody is different, his films start with the credits and music, very wise thing for people to be vigilant, so the movie on film I realized that design always uses in his movies and I love it.
In this case is a very simple design, this does not exempt elegance. The design uses Woody Allen is based entirely on the use of sources the Windsor family, both as the Condensed Elongated as any of the ways in which the family is available Windsor sources. The first film in which he started using this design was in Annie Hall (1977) and has since failed a few exceptions, are already part of their house brand label. When I see those letters, those sources on the movie screen, automatically I realize I'm facing a Woody Allen movie. Windsor
The source has the characteristic of having very rounded tops and a M and a very large W, a P and R with large curves, h and m and n are tilted to the right end and the letter and have the bat crossed with a certain angle, has some reminiscent of the Art Nouveau . It was created in the early twentieth century Pechy Eleisha United States and has been widely used in advertising during this time on both sides of the Atlantic. Although undoubtedly what I like about the typeface look is the old Windsor offered, especially when you put a theme background unremastered of Billie Holiday or Django Reinhardt and often makes the New York director. You can download this font family (or any of the thousands who have) on this page .
One of the most curious is how Woody Allen came to use this source. I do not know if the story is completely true, half true or simply an invention that has run through the internet as usual, these things we know, but hey, it seems that in New Jersey, between 1975 and 1977, came together in a small restaurant Woody Allen and Ed Benguiat, a typographer. Legend has it that Woody came one morning and asked if he could give any advice on which font to use for their films. Ed Benguiat, which at that time liked to use the font Windsor advised it to Woody illustrating his films.
Since then, the filmmaker shows all your movies with this source by giving it a special stamp to them. Not only that, apparently also has a book contract which has forced the publisher to print your pages with the Windsor source. Not the first film director who makes that kind of thing, in fact Stanley Kubrick and surrendered to the Futura Extra Bold. Will fetish, asshole or is it simply because I wanted to maintain a visual style that defines his movies, but anyway, the point is that Allen's style is readily recognizable at a glance as one of the letters appear in the Windsor family screen. Al what is the master teacher.
