At the 98th Academy Awards held on March 15, 2026, host Conan O’Brien introduced a short parody segment that features a fictional company called Ventura Crossroads that reformats Hollywood films for vertical video.

The video uses Input Mono’s Compressed Light weight for the company’s logo and lower third text. Even though Input Mono is not used in a true monospaced environment, the font nerd in me appreciates that the segment’s punchline involves the vertical alignment of its letters.
