Why Movie Fonts Matter
Monotype Design Team Lead Marie Boulanger recently spoke with British movie magazine Little White Lies for a video essay illustrating why movie fonts matter to audiences.
Drawing on classic and modern films across genres, Marie shows how fonts can help shape narratives in movies, molding our expectations and interpretations of what we see. “In most films, the title screen is the first character you see. Those letters are literally the first characters you see,” Marie said.
From Star Wars to Barbie, hear more from Marie about film, fonts, and their cultural impact at Little White Lies.
