Foundation Logo

A font containing the specific design of letters used for the Foundation logo, in the Apple TV+ series based on the Isaac Asimov books.

Since, by definition, only the seven letters used in the word ”Foundation“ comprise the glyphset of the logo, all the other characters, numbers, symbols and punctuation are conjectures.

One surprising aspect of the Foundation logo is that the Apple TV+ series has used two different logos:

The Foundation logo used in episode 1, with a dot above each O

An alternate version of the Foundation logo, with different F, A and N designs and no dot for the O

And beyond that, the type design used in the title sequence is also used, when “Previously on Foundation” is announced.

Seen each week at episode beginning, 'Previously on Foundation' using characters that form the basis of the Foundation One and Foundation Titles fonts

The characters used in the word “Foundation” in the image above form the basis of the Foundation Titles font, and the other text is the basis for the Foundation One font, both OFL-licensed and both here on GitHub. A font based on the type design seen on computer screens in Foundation is also planned.

Here is version 0.3 of Foundation Logo, with caps only but including alternate versions of E, F, K, P, S, W, X, Y and Z (coverage of the full Basic Latin codeblock).

All Foundation Logo characters displayed, with two versions of nine characters
