Quoted from Aurich:

I would be very surprised to find out that the way that text is rendered is out of the style guide, though I totally believe that having to include the dwarf text and Thorin getting a last name are. If they are truly stuck like that then they are, not much you can do. I get that you can be handcuffed by that stuff, very familiar with working with a client's style guide. That typography is just really shaky, not what I'd expect out of a big studio.

Eh... you might be surprised.

Although, that's not to say there might not be options. I do find examples of the text rendered in different ways:

Quoted from Aurich:

So let me just say, apparently even major studios can seriously F up some typography. And really, in hindsight I should have realized anything shown here is obviously studio approved, so I should have figured if they were okay with it then it must be "right". No sir, I don't like it!

My father used to work at an in-house printing plant for a major public utility. Quite often the graphics department would be assigned to create something, so the artists would slave and slave over the absolutely perfect design. But then, since the higher-ups (who had no actual design sense) always wanted to have options, at the very end they'd whip up a few quick-and-dirty examples - and I mean *bad* ones - just so there would be the perception of choice.

And don't you know it, a good part of the time those higher-ups would pick one of the crappy options to go to press with... and that's how ridiculous and completely unprofessional designs come to be at a major corporation that should've known better.
