That's very interesting, but I'm still curious as to why they used such similar typefaces together instead of just using Neue Haas for everything. Maybe it didn't really work well at smaller sizes. I'm not advocating using some crazy grudge typeface, but I would have loved to see their exploration of typestyles.

I agree with everyone's assessment about the UI not wanting to be too "overly designed". And having a font with good international styles is a really good point too.

Also, I think Bungie did a fantastic job with the UI. I just think these are interesting conversations to have.
