Film fonts

Subject: Horror font.

This font reminds me of the old 60s-70s french "Grindhouse" horror films, The shadow has a splatter effect, this suggests the bloody content of the film. The bold text looks rough and rugged, this create the feeling that something isn't right. Examples of this would be the "Saw" franchise and Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof".

Subject: Romance font.

In my opinion this font is target for gothic teenage girls. The italic font represents goth culture. And curled lettering suggests comfort and affection. The nature of a film with this font would suggest a dark romance aimed at teenage girls. Films with this theme are Twilight and Beautiful Creatures.

Subject: Action Film.

This font is targeted for mostly male audiences. The bold and stencilled text suggests a military theme. This font would be used on a more violent action flick such as the "Expendables".

Subject: Science Fiction.
This font is aimed to be futuristic. This can font can be targeted to all audiences because it integrates the theme of mystery in a unknown world. Films that use a similar font included Ridley scott's "Alien and stanley Kubricks "2001 space oddessey"
