Possible fonts

The font of titles in a thriller can be instrumental in setting the tone of a film. Yes, simply the shape, style, weight and size of text in a film can tell a story or set an atmosphere, possibly even help distinguish a horror, from a thriller. In this post I will go through the fonts we had a look at and the subtext(yes, that was a pun) they may carry.
 
CONSIDERED FONTS

This font, alarming similar to the great 'SE7EN's title font, is not the type of font we are interested. Although it, uses a very worn, ruggish and urban style, that is not the type of font we are looking for when producing a stylish, sophisticated spy thriller.






This font, though closer to the style we are looking for, does not entirely capture the theme of our film. The font is a little too curly and styled. While it captures the professionalism of Joanna Reed it does not symbolise her straight-forwardness and clinical nature in her work.




This font is most likely the style of font we'll use as it both encases Joanna Reed's professional, sophisticated nature, yet her decisiveness and precision. It is particularly similar to the '007' style of font, especially since the film genre and main character are so alike.

                                        


OUR FONT
The font we eventually decided on was a a mix of the two right above and the first one we reviewed. An exceedingly simple yet professional font, representative of Joan's character and job description without the flair of Skyfall's font, to issue the idea that it is a more solemn film.
