About the lettering

The mark deliberately evokes the main title of the 1939 Wizard of Oz film, pairing storybook serif forms with the witch-silhouette dot over the i that the franchise inherited from the stage musical's logo. The poster treatment layers that custom lettering over the split pink-and-green Elphaba/Glinda imagery, so the typography itself carries the two-witch contrast.
