Film Noir Typography




When researching Film Noir typography, I came across this video which has many examples of typography that's seen in Film Noir genre films, it allowed me to gain knowledge as to what font styles are seen in the films. The majority of Film Noir's use a Serif style font, meaning that there are strokes on the edges creating a mysterious and classy effect, reinforcing the overall connotations of the film; by using this style of font in the opening it informs the audience of what type of Film Noir they're going to be watching, foreshadowing the atmosphere that will be created.
