I don't understand the cult of typography. It seems obvious that good graphic design is important in the conveyance of messages: however, I can't say that I see much of an improvement in using Futura over Helvetica, or why Tahoma is such a crime against humanity. However, this analysis of typographic use in The Royal Tenenbaums makes a lot of sense.
The typefaces used are crisp, and square, echoing the crisp, square cinematography which frames the decidedly rumpled, eccentric family. Interesting.
