Logo-typography

Taken from Barnes & Noble Star Wars Book
 
I'm not really a huge Star Wars fan, but I was looking at books in Barnes & Noble and saw an entire table of Star Wars books about everything to do with this science fiction genre. All of the books had the same (or very similar) font style that did seem to be characterized with a "fantasy/space" element. This specific typography is associated with the Star Wars logo and many encompassing genres and Star Wars collectibles.

Childlike Typography

Taken at Barnes & Noble

I haven't read this book, but the typography intrigued me when I saw it on display at Barnes & Noble. The book is called, Room and is about a boy who is held captive with his mother and is confined to one room for the majority of his life. This typography was drawn in crayons and definitely looks like a child wrote it due to the jagged features, no baseline, and awkward character spacing.
