Eurostile is one of the most popular fonts in science-fiction movies . '' Doctor Who '' used the font for the credits during the Second Doctor era ( 1966 to 1969 , with Patrick Troughton in the lead role ) , and again in cast and crew titles from 1987 to 1989 . Eurostile — and the Microgramma Extended Bold font on which it is based — was the primary font used in the science fiction series '' UFO '' , created by Gerry Anderson in 1969 . All of the vehicles and clothing bearing the logo of the series ' secret organisation SHADO used the font , in addition to the main titles . Eurostile was also used in the title of television shows such as '' Ironside '' , '' Adam-12 , '' '' Star Trek Enterprise '' , and '' The Amazing Race '' , and can be found in several video games such as '' Homeworld , '' '' Tom Clancy 's Ghost Recon , '' '' Tekken , '' '' Splinter Cell , '' and '' Driv3r . '' The extended font was used in the logo of the 1999 Kids ' Choice Awards . Eurostile Extended variant is used in the title of Nickelodeon 's '' Drake & Josh '' , whilst the Bold form of Eurostile Extended was used in titles and set backdrops for Channel 4 's early 90s comedy series Vic Reeves Big Night Out . Type expert Dave Addey noted : " Indeed , Eurostile is such a quick way to establish a timeframe that whenever I see it in real life – which happens quite a lot in my adopted home of California – I assume I ’ve been transported to some futuristic dystopia , where a local care center feels more like a sinister government facility for scientific experimentation . " Eurostile , particularly Eurostile Bold Extended , is used extensively in science fiction movies , among them '' 2001 : A Space Odyssey '' ( especially for HAL 9000 ) and '' Moon ''
