Popular culture
The American television series American Horror Story and its spin-off series American Horror Stories features a variant of ITC Willow* prominently in the episodes as well as the series logotype itself.[1] The font used was actually a slightly edited version of The Charles Rennie Mackintosh Font, which was purchased specifically to use on the show. This features a modified letter "O" and slightly closer character spacing than the original. Its use was notable among TV and movie buffs since it has never been regarded as synonymous with the horror genre.
The Charles Rennie Mackintosh Font was also used in the motion picture
The City of Berkeley, California uses the Rennie Mackintosh font in its logo and official communications.[3]
