Behind the scenesEdit

Star Wars '76 (while lacking an in-universe name) is an in-universe writing system further developed by Philip Metschan, based upon an earlier Joe Johnston typeface developed for Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope and later used in Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. The typeface can also be seen throughout Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones.[1][2]

Fans attempting to translate this font will have difficulty doing so, as Metschan only canonized the letters A through U.[2][1]

The typeface can be seen printed on TIE pilot helmets in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope and the Imperial speeder bikes in various behind the scenes images from Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.

Luke Skywalker's X-wing cockpit display also displays this script when translating R2-D2's warbles during Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back.

The script also features prominently on Obi Wan's Jedi Starfighter cockpit display screens and Zam Wesell's KiSteer 1284 projectile rifle's scope display in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones.[1][2]
