Title: Typefaces Used on Movie Posters
Post by: erik1925 on June 29, 2018, 07:23:12 PM

Rudy Franchi posted this youtube clip to MOPO yesterday. It discusses the use of various type fonts and styles on movie posters over the years, and how one typeface called Trajan, has come to dominate.

Good stuff.  thumbup

Interesting.  The font reminds me a bit of Century Schoobook, actually.

And am I the only one who can't stand the narrator's pronunciation "TRAY-jan"?  Talk about Americanization.  Ugh.  And I'm American.
