Hi guys (and gals),

Can someone tell me the name of that font (it's a fan made poster, so Internet search for the fonts doesn't really help)



Thank you
PB.

Save the image, crop the title, and upload to whatthefont.com

or, this seems close:

http://fontdiner.com/menu_brown.html

it costs a tiny bit.

For the stylists and aesthetes among you - which other font (if any) would you use on a movie poster with that Agency FB font for one of these "XYZ Productions Presents" headlines? I'm not sure if these classical, stretched characters do really fit? ->

How many different fonts together do still look good?

Regards,

I'm not sure I'd use another. The Bond poster didn't.

If you need to ask that second question though, the answer is absolutely, positively no more than two total. Add more and you're playing with fire.

Those two fonts are too similar to bother having two fonts. I'd agree with subego and say 2, possibly 3 tops, if you count illustrated lettering (frozen) as a typeface.

This has turned into a design thread, tempted to move it there... that forum is lonely.
