Trajan - The Movie Font

Trajan - The Movie Font

/Film Reader Yair Raveh sent me a link to a video about the Tarjan type-face (aka font). Like me, you probably have never heard of it, but chances are - you’ve seen it. Tarjan is being over-used to death on countless movie trailer and posters. Watch the video below.

    Hahaha, can't believe it... it's all Trajan, all over. :)

    Haha, well I will put Trajan font in my next flick, hehe.
  • interesting video. thx for posting

    I wish movie's would come up with original fonts for titles in the way comic book's do. The logo artists working in comic books are far superior and original to those in the film industry.

    a couple of years ago researching fonts.
  • HAHAHA! I used to work at an entertainment design studio and we'd always joke about how the movie studios' in-house designers always reused the same stuff... same fonts, same poses, same stock textures, etc. So funny!!
  • rent the documentary called "Helvetica" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0847817/ - it's AWESOME...so interesting and you'll not believe how much of the world uses this font...

    The typeface is on every movie, and creeping onto sports uniforms, too! But not without a fight.
  • WHO CARES? It looks good
