Movies and Fontspotting

Yes, there are people who can recognize a certain font at first sight. I’m not one of them  but some people sure are. Like the guys at Typographi.ca who set out to identify the fonts used in the opening titles for what promises to be a fun movie – Thank you for smoking.

How about the Royal Tennenbaum’s world of Futura? He’s got some more – Typecasting: The use (and misuse) of period typography in movies. and while you’re at it just go for the entire Son of Typecasting category by Mike Simonson with examples from Titanic, Gangs of New york and others.

Oh there are more but I’ll spare you for now .
