Futura and sci-fi… (Destiny)

I've gotta say, the UI Team's choices of typefaces has really confused me a bit. They're doing a great job with Neue Haas Grotesk, but Helvetica-esque fonts are pretty boring. I did see Revui's video on the UI design and I understood his reasoning for using such a legible font, but I was conflicted with their choice. It's better than a lot of terrible typefaces, but it's pretty boring and isn't used in an amazing way. But maybe that's the benefit of using that!

Yeah, I imagine it's pretty difficult to thread the needle between interesting and readable during a firefight.
