An octagonal stencil typeface. THD Sentient (2017). An all-capitals monolinear rounded proportionally spaced all caps sans type family in four weights, designed by Tim Hutchinson in collaboration with MuirMcNeil. It was originally created in 2017 in a single weight for Beyond 2001: New Horizons, a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Stanley Kubrick archive at the London College of Communication. Hutchinson based THD Sentient's characters on the forms of numerals used to display telemetric data on the screen of HAL 9000, the intelligent computer that controls the systems of the Discovery One spacecraft in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. These characters were re-appropriated from an original typewriter font created for the IBM Selectric II System at two fixed sizes specifically for financial settings. Hutchinson writes: Although Kubrick's meticulous research and attention to detail in his films are known to extend to the minutiae of letterforms, whether he was directly involved in the implementation of HAL's display has not been established. However, it is evident that HAL's designer enlisted the IBM numerals more for their subtle evocation of an otherworldly computer language than for any technological accuracy. THD Slam (2017).
