The detail that the author goes into not just typeface, but finding all the references for the visual style of Wall-E (diving into the creators, corporations, logos, art, propaganda, events in history, iconic products, architecture, movie references, etc) not only make me applaud his detective work but also the work of those artists who put all that detail into the movie. Really amazing to see the build up of many iconic styles coming together as a thematic whole.
