Linda Mai Green is a filmmaker based in San Francisco whose work often explores women’s internal landscapes through surreal visual narratives. Alongside directing music videos, contemporary Indigenous dance films, and Vietnamese American voter turnout ads set to cha-cha-cha rhythms, Green has developed a diverse body of work supported by institutions such as SFFILM—where she was a 2024–2025 Resident—as well as the Mill Valley Film Festival, Eastern Oregon Film Festival, and The Redford Center. In 2025 she premiered her award-winning narrative short Mondegreen, which is currently on the international festival circuit. The film’s poster and title graphics were designed by Mike Tully, a New York–based independent designer, educator, and writer who collaborates with artists, architects, publishers, and cultural institutions on editorial, exhibition, identity, and research-driven design projects.

For the opening titles, Tully chose DOSS, designed by Marc Rouault and distributed through Sharp Type. Specifically, the titles use the Problem Micro style from the DOSS collection, combined with Sharp Earth for supporting typography. Inspired by the logotypes of construction and hi-fi audio brands, the DOSS family also references the aesthetics of ’90s rave culture and ’80s sci-fi. Across its styles—Exaflop, Acid, Plexus, and Problem—it is characterized by exaggerated geometric structures, rounded counterforms, and unicase character sets. Paired with the pragmatic, globally oriented sans serif Sharp Earth, the typography in Mondegreen’s opening sequence balances expressive display forms with functional clarity, demonstrating how contrasting voices from the same type foundry can shape the tone of a cinematic title sequence.
