Font Analysis

One font I can use in my opening titles is Trajan Pro. This is an appropriate font because it has a very ancient theme which fits into the historical time period of my opening sequence. It is also quite a bold font which can suggest strength which is useful for my opening sequence because the film is about a strong male protagonist. However could be suggested this font has more of a roman theme to it than the Medieval theme I am looking for.

A similar font I could have used Is Charlemagne STD (This isn't it by the way) which has a more medieval look to it. It has a more gothic theme which arguably fits the time period of Medieval chivalry etc. However it can also be argued that this font has a bit too much of a artistic theme and could pass off as being to modern.


Herculanum is also a good font because, as suggested in the name, it has the look of ancient Greeks due to its messy and almost prehistoric nature. However the writing is not very imposing and looks as if the people who wrote like this were some of the first people in the world who could write. Furthermore the font doesn't really match the time period of "Lokir" which is theoretically over 1000 years in the future.
