Other fonts used for DUNE

I’ve gotten a few commenters, both here and elsewhere asking about other Dune fonts – so I thought I’d make a bit of a reference page.

Dune (1984)

84font

Top of the list is the font used for David Lynch’s 1984 adaptation of Dune. The font is one called Albertus - however it has been slightly modified. The D has been extended, the U has lost it’s stem and middle prong of the E has been altered.

Nu-Dune (1999-2008)

nuDune

The font used on the US editions of the nu-dune books by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson up until 2008 is Benguiat. It is stretched vertically, but other-wise unaltered.

Nu-Dune (2009-present)

Nu-Dune new
The font used on Nu-Dune books and re-prints post Winds of Dune, is a slightly modified version of Priori Serif – the N is simply the U rotated 180 degrees. Also on the US editions, the top-right serif on the U is removed.

Other Dune Fonts

null
These three fonts were created by Mike Lee and Josh Dixon in 1998. Fremen was based on John Quijada’s work in the Dune Encyclopedia, while Galach and Guild were both based on the text seen in the 1984 Dune movie.

Hope that helps. :)
