The art of film title design

Hitchcock by Matt Terich


This font is useful for making a similair impression to the start of Hitchcock's films. It can work as both a typographical homage to his films or to make the following film fit into the classic thriller genre more easily, which might work for us but our film is not purely a thriller nor is it in the classic style, so the font would be at odds with the content.

Meyer two by Louis B. Meyer

This font could be appropriate for our film; in particualr the regular capital line saying "OCEAN VOYAGES" or the one saying "MAGNA CARTA". The reason for this is that because of the thin lettering and the similair size of each letter, it is clear and draws attention to the title; it is easier to read, so subconciously people are more likely to pay attention to it. It also seems timeless, and not specific to one person, which is important to our piece as the occurences in the plot happen to different people. Futura by Paul Renner
This is ideal for our film for the same reasons, but because it is Stanley Kubrick's font of choice. The advantage of this is that people who see the font in our film could be reminded of films like The Shining, which is another movie in which the character has a "monster" (in this case the presence in the Overlook hotel) that exists in part because of their mind processes. Despite this font suiting our film it is only available for sale but it gives us an idea of what we are looking for.
