Titles: Fonts

[doonae]

Hi all

Going to be cutting my new movie soon and was thinking about the titles. Thought it might be worth asking what you guys think are cool fonts to use? So far I've used typewritten stuff and arial, but any ideas would be most welcome.

It depends a lot on thematic issues.

Do a Yahoo or Google search for free fonts. There are a plethora of free font download sites that have excellent previews, so you can see them quickly and decide on-the-fly before you even download them.

use arial

Times new roman or "old english" always works well....Just kidding. I'll have to go with Blaine and say it depends alot of the theme and mood and subject matter.

I'm super fussy when it comes to fonts. They must look right for the story and I always alter the font's spacing and shape to jive with what I'm doing.

dafont.com is great place to start the hunt but there are a million places to find cool fonts.

The obvious thing to remember is that the font should not be too thin or it becomes impossible to read.

yeah, you have to find the right font, set with the right options like colour, boldiness...etc.
