Typefaces for Poster

These are the typefaces I found which I wanted to try using for my poster. Originally i new i wanted to use the same typeface of the title as I used in my trailer. However, after more research into certain typefaces, I found another 8 which are above, I liked some more then the original and therefore wanted to try them out. Typeface number one, two and five are some of my favourites as they gave a feeling as to what the title was. The style of these typefaces are vanishing which is what the word disconnected is but for a phone call. Other typefaces such as three, were not as good to use, I felt like number three looked too scratched up and needed to be simpler. Also typeface number 6 had a blurred effect, like you would see on TV, however I wouldn’t want to use this because my storyline doesn’t involve TV’s, only phones, so I wanted something that would link more to that.

I will try the majority of these typefaces out when making my poster on Photoshop in order to see how it fits in overall. Until I see it visually, I cannot make a decision.

These are the typefaces I found for the tagline. They are very similar to each other in the sense that they are strong, straight and simple. The only difference is I tried to find one a little bit bolder then the other, in this case its typeface one. I wanted a straight and strong looking typeface, but one of which that wouldn’t outweigh the look of the main title typeface of 'disconnected' which is why I searched for thin typefaces rather than thicker ones. Overall these typefaces do the job of attracting the audience’s attention in a very simple, subtle but effective way.

These are the typefaces I found for the credits. Below you can see I have researched and looked at examples of typefaces on posters, even the Credits, which are just as important as the main typeface of the title on a poster, credits tend to typically take up the bottom section of the poster, so the typeface can’t be too bold or thick, as the text may be hard to read. Below you can the typeface of the credit is mainly tall and thin, or has been squashed together to look it. Typefaces two, three and four are all thin, and I wanted to try a thick typeface to see how it would look, which is why I also included typefaces one and five.
