Foundation One

Based on the central font design used in Foundation, the Apple TV+ series based on the Asimov books, to indicate a change in context, location or time. Released with the SIL Open Font License (OFL).

The name Foundation One is shown in large type on an image showing spaceships attacking a planet, a scene from the Apple TV+ series Foundation — underneath that is a tagline, 'The premier font used across the galaxy'

The font is still under construction and not all the characters and numbers (and hardly any symbols or punctuation) have shown up. Here the "missing" glyphs are substituted with “compatible conjectures”:

All uppercase letters, numbers, punctuation and most Basic Latin symbols of the Foundation One font, displayed against a scene from the Apple TV+ series Foundation, based on the Asimov books

As you can see, the font features distinctive S, M, U, W, B, K and G shapes not shared with other typefaces. Many characters and all the numbers include dots in the design (H, 1, 3) or as a decorative element (A, S, W).

To download the related OFL font based on Foundation’s title sequence, visit the Foundation Titles repo here on GitHub. A font based on the Foundation Logo is also in progress, and a font based on the type design seen on computer screens in Foundation is planned.

The source .ifm2archive files are in the file format used by iFontMaker, the iPad font-design tool made by Eiji and Tom, Inc., which you can find at 2ttf.com. To install Foundation One on an iPhone or iPad, use the command “Install (for iOS)” at 2ttf.com/BW7GxybNOS0. You may have to use Safari for this to work.
