詹姆斯邦德（James Bond）的电影和PlayStation游戏的宣传单及说明，激发了荷兰设计师Paul van der Laan创作他的字体Linotype Rezident。关于此设计，van der Laan说，“我正在为朋友设计名片，我之前对排印有一定的认识。我试图在几个草图中捕捉到这种气息，直接在屏幕上绘制了几个字符，然后将它们扩展为字体。”于是Linotype Rezident就这样诞生了，它那酷炫的、技术化及建构主义的外观让人联想到计算机和虚拟现实。至于名称？“字体的名称来自游戏生化危机。游戏中的一个主角叫Leon，字体最初是为我一个名为Leon的朋友制作的。它也指海牙市——一个我曾经生活且接受教育的地方——因为它通常被称为“de residentie”，是荷兰女王及议会所在地。

Flyers, Intros from James Bond films and PlayStation games as well as the typeface Senator from Zuzane Licko inspired the Dutch designer Paul van der Laan to create his font Linotype Rezident. To its design, van der Laan says, I was designing a business card for a friend and I had a certain mood in mind for the typography. I tried to capture this mood in a couple of sketches, drew a few characters directly onscreen and just expanded them into a typeface." And so began Linotype Rezident, with its cool, technical and constructivist appearance which brings to mind computers and virtual reality. And the name? " The name of the font comes from the game Resident Evil. One of the main characters in the game is called Leon and the typeface was initially drawn for a friend of mine called Leon. It also refers to the city of The Hague - where I live and got my education - since it's often called 'de residentie'", where the queen and parliament of The Netherlands are seated."
