Title: Typeface- Batman Beyond.

In the late 90's, the WB launched a cartoon called batman beyond and it was producer Bruce Timm's finest work at the time aside from the earlier Batman:TAS. It was dark, edgy with fleshed out characters and action filled stories yet still acceptable to watch for a saturday morning cartoon. The focus was split between an aging Bruce Wayne, cynical due to his failing health and still keenly observant, and a neo-punk teen named Terry Mcguise with street smarts and athletic potential as the pair fight crime in a more cyberpunk Gotham of the nearing future.

What makes this works is the in your face dive of the body as the red letters fan outward from the center bat emblem. The mix of large numbers and single letters help to shape the form and shade the details. If one can look closer, you can see sentences that reveal interesting spoilers from the series's run.
