great video about the trajan font and how often it is used in film posters – yes, it is actually interesting – i’m not extracting the urine!
the font is pretty much the default film poster font particularly in horrors or dramatic blockbusters (thinkĀ movies like The Hills Have Eyes or A Beautiful Mind) – take a look at this flickr group to see just how many.
As Billy Tuns points out blockbuster comedies tend to favour bold sans serif (and always in red)…

funny?
how about some imagination fellas?
