Fontsmith have released a new font called FS Dillon. This font looks almost identical to the Film 4 font also designed by Fontsmith. There is no mention made of a link between these two typefaces, but perhaps this is Fontsmith licensing the font for general use...

Having looked closer at the two typefaces, there are subtle changes made. The Ascenders are taller which results in a slightly reduced x-height, which would make it more useful for body text and as a font not designed specifically for television or identity/branding.

so in otherwords it's identical other than it's made for print. right, let's get our mittens on it! Laughing
