About the lettering
According to Creative Bloq's identification, cited by WeFonts, the logo is a two-font construction: Helvetica Bold inside the periodic-table tiles and Cooper for the remaining letters. The tile concept, turning Br and Ba into element cells numbered 35 and 56, is credited to series creator Vince Gilligan in a University of New Mexico magazine account. The clash between the clinical tiles and the soft Cooper letters mirrors the show's premise of an ordinary man turning to chemistry and crime.
