This free font has thin, extended characters, stretching out to be as psychologically intimidating as possible! 

Dracula Palace — Gothic Horror Font

Dracula Palace comprises both gothic and scary design because of its peculiar raw look.

Quentin Tarantino is a notable and outstanding filmmaker, whose masterpieces contain juicy, eventful plots, playing with your mind and emotions. He takes care of all the odds and ends putting them on their rightful places in the plot canvas, which is just insane! But have you seen his movie title fonts?
Tarantino’s vision of art is not bound by any frames and is expressed even in the way he arranges the intros for his films. I’ve got to say, this man is a real film typefaces maniac! Most of his motion pictures have a successive chain offonts proudly demonstrated within nothing less than 3 minutes. He grabs so many variants not out of a design greed: the typographic twists Quentin chooses with the movie fonts can’t be called out of place.
Being a relatively average admirer of his work (and a huge fan of John Travolta, btw), it has never come to my attention until I’ve watched the latest “Onceupon a time in Hollywood” with its retro aesthetics of the 60s. Followed by curiosity, mixed with a desire to discover more about Quentin Tarantino typography style preferences, I invite you to come along on this typographic adventure in a chronological order of movies coming out from 1992 to 2019.

Reservoir Dogs Font

The long history of Tarantino film fonts was a bumpy ride. Looking back at the beginning of Quentin’s career, the tale should be started with the first-ever film he created — ‘’Reservoir Dogs.’’ This low-budget crime movie has set the course for the future mustard-yellow opening credits, which became a recognizable trait of all Tarantino’s works. The letters used here belong to Garamond Font — a pretty standard-looking typeface yet amazingly fitting the atmosphere.
​​EB Garamond Font

Despite this fact, you might be more familiar with the poster font, which is nothing like the recently-mentioned one. Honestly, having no verifiable source of info concerning the original poster font, I would like to offer you a fair replacement — Reservoir Dogs font, replicating the poster version flawlessly.

Fonts by Pacific Title & Art Studio

To say that I was baffled means to say nothing — the reaction I experienced thanks to Pacific Title & Art Studio. Why does it make me feel lost and confused? According to that little loaf of information I’ve scraped for this article, Pacific Title & Art Studio Hollywood post-production brand was founded in 1919 and features 245 titles created for the most popular movies in the world like “Mission Impossible”, “King Kong”, “Sex and the City”, “Fight Club”, “Pirates of the Caribbean”, the list goes on and on. And with all due respect, how come this legendary lettering studio has absolutely no media presence whatsoever? Can you wrap your head around this? Neither their website nor Wikipedia page contains any up-to-date facts, news, portfolio works, at least something.
Speaking of the two early pop culture treasures such as “Pulp Fiction” and “Jackie Brown” with their bouquet of typefaces and titles created in yellow slabs with orange-shadowed outlines, the credit goes to Pacific Title & Art Studio as well. This company has a huge experience of making movie fonts for opening titles, which has ended in 2007 when the company faced a crisis, eventually ended with its liquidation. But their legacy lives on as the following two brightest examples.

Pulp Fiction Font

Do you hear the classic film soundtrack playing in your head while looking at the poster? I freaking love this song! But the typographic arrangement astounds me even more at this point as “Pulp Fiction” fonts come in an array of styles within about 2 minutes of into credits. The action kicks off with the first appeared typeface, leaning to Art Deco aesthetics and introducing “a film by Quentin Tarantino” type — ITC Busorama, designed by Tom Carnase in 1970. You can tell that some alternates were altered: S, T, and A letters.
ITC Busorama

​​ITC Busorama

Slowly sliding into the screen a classic Pulp Fiction font, created with Aachen Bold and decorating all the movie posters, hanging in every hipster room as a part of unique interior design (no judgement here, the canonic Uma Thurman shot is marvelous). Strong eye-hooking mustard yellow shade is the same, by the way, unifying different typographic solutions into one visual combo. What made it even more recognizable is the blindingly done retro style, which can decorate any of your artworks as well!
​​Aachen Bold

​​​​Aachen Bold

Wrapping up, the following credits get delivered in ITC Benguiat, notably the whole cast starting with John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, and ending with the Quentin Tarantino mention as well. All the fonts are presented in a variety of contrasting styles, it’s deeply fascinating and moving!
ITC Benguiat

​​​​ITC Benguiat

Jackie Brown Font

Spinning the wheel of geeky facts for you first, but promise you’ll love it. The leading role of Jackie Brown was played by Pam Grier, an American actress, participated in a string of 1970s action, blaxploitation movies, being very popular at that time. One of such films is called “Foxy Brown” starring Pam Grier as well. So get this, Tarantino’s movie is not only titled with the same “Brown” name, played by the same actress, but also uses the same typeface — ITC Benguiat Caslon. Mind is blown!
​​Groudy Heavy Font

​​​Groudy Heavy

The “Quentin Tarantino film” font is another vintage find, an homage to the 70s cinema culture and “Foxy Brown” in particular — Goudy Heavy font. Skipping through the cast-presenting characters of Jackie Brown fonts, this custom typography was based on Imperator Script or Filmotype Hudson, representing a buoyant retro type.
Jackie Brown Font
Here we go again: the same retro aesthetics in yellow colors and “puffy” letterforms, whose swashes do all the magic. It might be a battered trick to apply such funky text when speaking of the‘90s or ‘80s but saturated color with brave forms is the formula, which can’t be replaced by something better.

Of course, the opening credits have a rampage of other typefaces, but there’s something in common among so many Tarantino movies. There are three chosen movie fonts, appearing in the majority of films: Busorama, Friz Quadrata, and ITC Bookman. I’ll show them to you a bit later but all you need to know right now is that they’re present in the above-mentioned movies.

Meet Jay Johnson, Everybody!

You’re a real nerd if you knew all along that the majority of Tarantino movie fonts were designed by Jay Johnson — motion graphics designer, animator, and illustrator from Colorado. He inherited the Pacific Title duties with their thee classic fonts I’ve mentioned. However, the mysterious typography genius somehow manages to grasp the appropriate mood and create unique setting in his epic fonts letting design. All movies released from 2003 involve his participation.

Has designed Main Titles for many of the most memorable films of the recent past. His designs have complimented and enhanced those films.

Kill Bill Font

This was my first movie by Tarantino and the favorite one for quite a while. Concerning the fonts field, this project is the least colorful, gravitating to minimalism and giving up on typical yellow shades. Such decision is pushed by desire to mimic the noir mood of classic Akira Kurosawa movies. Although, the opening movie credits are still that rich with a number of fonts involved.
Now it’s high time to look closer at the “mighty three” movie fonts curated by Jay Johnson, became Tarantino’s calling card already and appearing in practically every film: Busorama, ITC Bookman, and Friz Quadrata, perfectly exhibited in both Kill Bill Vol.1 and Kill Bill Vol.2 opening credits.
If you think that on that the movie font rampage is over, you’re so wrong. Johnson has also pushed two more typefaces into the scene: Palatino and Avant Garde, the difference between which is exorbitant! How their combination could possibly appear in his head as the harmonious one?

Death Proof Font

You might disagree with this statement, but “Death Proof” doesn’t seem to be as sizzling as the other films by Tarantino. Nevertheless, it doesn’t diminish the film’s quality at all. The movie font used at the very beginning this one is called Hobo and depicted in a joyful way with a bit of retro in it (too bad the shot lasts for about 3 seconds).
Hobo

​​Hobo

Futura PT

​​​​Futura PT

Like a lightning from a clear sky comes the movie title, very unexpected and contrasting in comparison with the preceding colorful credits. I can speculate on the whole philosophy of symbols in every movie credits but there’ll be more use in just taking a look at it. Tending to discover peculiarities in every work of art, what can be mentioned here is the use of an unexpectedly simple typeface for the movie’s main title — Futura PT font.
Cooper Black

​​​Cooper Black

Already having an eye for the funky retro characters, you’ve probably noticed that the next shot with “a film by Quentin Tarantino” and the rest of movie crew introduction credits is made using Cooper Black font — rounded serif type, altered to have some little imperfections. The yellow shade is out of the question, obviously.
Death Proof
The screaming red movie font by Jay Johnson was used in a movie trailer and the official poster, which means with a high percentage of probability that exactly this font won’t be just floating around the web freely. Luckily for me, I’ve stumbled upon this very typeface on Behance, somehow imitating the stylistics of the original.

Inglourious Basterds Font

The turn has come to speak about the choking on satire Quentin Tarantino’s movie has brought to the world — “Inglourious Basterds.” What an abundance of fonts you’re exposed to… again! Starting from the intro, opening movie credits let you go through four different fonts in all their glory. Well, on the whole, this is not an unusual format as we already know, but you see how more personalized it is. 

Abiding with the plot setting, taking place in the occupied France of 1944, the viewer observes blocky, heavy, old machine printed-like lettering — Ziggurat font. This brutal typeface presumably plays the role of a metaphoric rigidity of the reigning regime, in accord with background soundtrack.
​​Ziggurat

​​​​Ziggurat

The main inscription is one in a million font because it was done by the master himself. This handwritten phrase was scanned from the cover page of the final script draft, finished in July 2008. Very crafty and special, if you ask me.
Inglourious Basterds Font

Handwritten font on the Inglourious Basterds script’s cover page, made by Quentin Tarantino himself.

What about the rest of this typefaces symphony? These are the already familiar Avant Garde and Friz Quadrata typefaces — too good to have a cameo in only one movie by the director.
​​Avant Garde

Django Unchained Font

I was searching all around the Internet for the main title font and after quite a while I had to consider my mission to be failed completely. Turned out, it happened for a reason: Django Unchained font was fully custom-designed, supposedly, without any ready-made typeface used as a basis, and paying respects to Sergio Leone films. There’s a rumour floating around, that Sally Menke, Quentin Tarantino’s film editor used to work together with on his glorious movies. But these are just false facts, as unfortunately, Sally Menke passed in 2010 and couldn’t be related to “Django Unchained” movie, which came out in 2012. So don’t believe those forum messages rubbing this information in.
Django Unchained Font
It seems like the only alternative solution is to offer you a close equivalent to Django Unchained font, and it will be Dobra Slab font in its Black style.

Bank Gothic

Finding the ‘‘unchained’’ line was much easier — it’s written in Bank Gothic and was barely adjusted for the credits. If these little discoveries don’t fully cover your creative cravings, you can check out our selection of western fonts and pick something, made in a similar spaghetti western lettering.

The Hateful Eight Font

Johnson did astoundingly great working on the “Hateful Eight” movie font, inspired by spaghetti wester vibes, for which no exact typeface can be found. It’s cartoonish enough to be resonating to the western plot itself (especially with the bloodbath shots in the very end), and quirky with allusions to the way everything turned out. The two main introductory credits are completely exclusive, so no downloadable typefaces here, folks.
The Hateful Eight

Tarantino’s movies wouldn’t be themselves without repeating the best typographic options he had already used in the previous films — Ziggurat and Friz Quadrata fonts.

I simply can’t leave you high and dry on this one, so let me present you the “Hateful Eight” movie poster font as a compensation. The snowy storm background is cleaved with Stymie Extra Bold with roughness added to it. One more epic font in your piggybank of typefaces!

Stymie

In 1931, Morris Fuller Benton created the Stymie typeface for the American Type Founders (ATF). Later weights were later added by Sol Hess at Lanston Monotype and Gary Powell at ATF.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Font

Finishing up scrutinizing Quentin Tarantino’s title design solutions with the most recent movie he created, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” based on the infamous story of Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski. Not much to ramble about here — the main typography is a precise duplicate of the classic Hollywood Hills font. I’m sure such solution was dictated by the idea of creating an atmosphere of a complete immersion into the 1960s Los Angeles. As for the rest typographic tools, the director signature ITC Busorama font is paired with Romana font, wiring the names in the cast and fully coinciding with the sixties B movie fonts. What’s peculiar is that the movie’s title appears only in the closing credits.

Stunned by the array of iconic movie fonts, which Tarantino used in his creations, it was intriguing to find some pattern in his choice of typography and maybe fall in love with his motion pictures once again. How many other directors do that? Hope this article has proved once again the director’s exorbitant sense of style and upgraded your fonts collection with a few typefaces for the most inspiring graphic design!

20+ Best Greek Fonts with Antique Vibe https://thedesignest.net/greek-fonts/ https://thedesignest.net/greek-fonts/#respond Tue, 21 Feb 2023 10:42:44 +0000 https://thedesignest.net/?p=54067 When the only thing Greek you’ve had is a salad, the moment has come to enlighten yourself with our godlike selection of Greek fonts!

All the most famous mythology stories appear here and there in modern pop culture, either slightly altered to fit the current agenda or repeated word by word in movies, TV shows, cartoons, and theatre plays. The inspiring stories of ancient Greek gods like mighty Heracles, astounding Aphrodite, and powerful as a tide Poseidon all come from folklore plots known to almost anyone, from kids to adults. Let’s see how many stories you’ll remember when scrolling through the freshly-assembled Greek font collection. 

Despite the pretty concrete and vivid imagery of Greek fonts, let us assure you they are not exclusively about Greek or mythology-fostered design solutions. The most prominent feature of such fonts is their blocky nature, straight lines, sharp corners, and sometimes, if the author designed it this way, rough, almost halftone texture, addressing the vintage look of such inscriptions. Adding a Greek decorative font to your library might become a power move for the project: no Pandora’s box consequences, only success and high quality resources bestowed upon you! 

Our Team’s Top Pick

Greconian – Ancient Greek Font

It feels like we witnessed the day Achilles defeated his enemy, when Zeus ruled the entire ancient mythology world, and when Gladiator fought the lion in the Colosseum. With the images of majestic and elegant impressions, the Greek fonts like this one bring some aggressiveness to the table. The typeface perfectly suits online gaming designs, vintage logos, beach posters, movie titles, magazines, YouTube covers, thumbnails, social media posts, and more. 

Praetoria

Praetoria is a serif titling Greek font that was loosely modeled after the Roman square capitals used in ancient Rome. Some of the lowercase characters are fictitious variations of their uppercase counterparts. A few, however, such as the B and M, were plucked from Russian and Greek alphabets, respectively. This display font was designed for games, movie posters, and book covers in mind. 

Ancient Geek Font

Have you ever tried to read Greek lettering the goofy way? We mean doing it the Latin way: pronouncing each character as it looks instead of how the Greek alphabet is supposed to sound? That’s precisely the buoyant mood this Greek alphabet is based on. All the Greek letters were matched up with ones from the Latin alphabet. The other characters that didn’t look like anything got filled in the remaining characters with the regular Latin alphabet. You can type out a phrase, and it will look like Greek lettering while being perfectly readable in English. 

Greek Freak – Gaming Font

If you consider yourself a Greek Freak, you won’t turn down a chance to bring the mythology and all that epic gods vs. humans war drama to the present day. The battle of praetorians and the castle siege will be brought to life with this Greek font. The typeface will suit the history books market, online games, stationery, posters, movie titles, youtube covers, youtube thumbnails, social media, and other projects! 

Foulis Greek Font

Sometimes contrasts help produce a dazzling effect, increasing the power of impression. Here all the characters will be”old style” but usable in a modern context if you want to see them there. The Greek characters will harmonize with Junicode’s Latin lettering in size and weight. This Greek alphabet will be usable for classical and biblical Greek. The ligatures in old Greek printing are made available as an OpenType feature. Who knows, maybe your next typographic project will become the next Homer’s “Iliad.” 

Roman Greek – Display Serif Font

Compatible with absolutely any software, Roman Greek alphabet is a strong candidate for the best retro typography solution title. Having attained a modern look with special artistic alternates, the typeface doesn’t come as an antique and outdated but as a perfectly preserved ancient relic! Roman Greek is an elegant and distinct serif font, suitable for a wide variety of designs due to its neat and simple style, this font has the potential to become your favorite go-to font, no matter the occasion! 

GreeKish Font

A little vintage but very distinguishable Greekish font is another typographic ode to history books. Something in between classic Roman fonts and a runes-inspired alphabet, the package will give you 222 characters and 216 glyphs to assemble a one-in-a-million project. The symbols can fit into a branding project, packaging design with a Greek attitude, and whenever you want it to appear! 

Imperiem Regular Typeface

This simple yet unique serif typeface is inspired by the architecture and characteristics of ancient European civilizations. This Greek alphabet set is based on two contradictory elements: the straight solid vertical lines represent the supportive pillars of Greek and Roman architecture, in correlation with the thin connection lines, which contribute to the elaboration of the perfect inner balance. Special characters for punctuation and numbers are included in the archive as well. 

Gelio Font

When there comes time to pull out the ancient card in graphic design, think of Gelio as a valid candidate for becoming an ideal font to fill the vintage gap. There are 5 different font styles to choose from, featuring textured and smudged versions. Unfortunately, the alphabet consists of uppercase characters only, but on the other hand, this way, no headline, logotype, title, or header will pass unnoticed by the audience. 

Bvenaztre

Bvenaztre is an exquisite decorative font that was adjusted into a Greek font that looks vintage and classic. With a bit of the Art Deco style, it’s very suitable for so many retro projects and digital products. If you throw some themed illustrations and objects in there for the sake of composition, the results will be awe-provoking! 

Caesar Dressing Font

The joke’s old as the world, yet it’s still cracking up some exquisite comedy enthusiasts. Jokes aside, the Greek font is not funny or humorous but very meticulously made, soaked in mythology vibes and graphic design value. Open Window fonts gravitate towards more experimental or spontaneous renderings, and this one doesn’t look out of place next to the most experimental takes. It also maintains the geometric balance of a classic Greek font quite effectively. 

Romans Story

Romans Story is a sophisticated ligature serif font and just a pure delight for any designer. This typeface has been created carefully to ensure its premium quality and luxurious feel. The ligatures make this Greek typeface unique, so it stands out from the other serif fonts. Very suitable for logos, headlines, titles, and other project forms such as invitations, labels, logos, magazines, packaging, stationery, or any type of advertising purpose. 

Greek Custom Font

Special delivery of the blocky font is at your door! Polished with a modern approach, boosted with lowercase letters, punctuation, and special characters, the file is more than another vintage-mimicking asset. Include the lettering into book cover design, vintage logo, posters, sticker signs, anything really! This is a perfect merge of contemporary look and echoes from the past. 

Greek Font

Sometimes the only Greek adventure you can currently afford is purchasing the Greek font, but it’s not necessarily a tragedy! Carved out Greek letters have been ideally preserved inside this typeface alongside with additional ornaments and elements, complementing the composition. Be warned that there are only uppercase characters created, standing out the same way your future designs will! 

Arka Typeface 

In search of new inspirational ideas, you might as well look at the past, when the writing systems were simpler, basic strokes and dashes were minimalistic and clean. Arka is a display typeface inspired by Greek mythology and old letters from the same epoch. The type is best used for headlines, titles, posters, but it can also be used for whatever your creativity leads you. Available in 2 weights (regular and bold), it also comes with full glyph coverage for Western Europe, Southern Europe, Central Europe, and Afrikaans. 

ANTIQUA Vector Font + Patterns

Antiqua is a modern roman classic alphabet built with a method of geometrical construction for large letters. This product is a bundle of vector font and hand-drawn construction sketches of ABC letters in vintage style. All images in the set are in .EPS format, which makes them very easy to edit to suit any creative project better. Use this fantastic vector font to take your creative project to the next level, be it a headline on a leaflet, a t-shirt print, or a letter pattern on a paper bag. 

Longstride

Longstride was inspired by Roman letterforms. A low contrast charismatic typeface with uppercase/lowercase characters, numerals, and multilanguage support (you can express your ideas in French, Italian, Russian, German, and more). There are also ligature and alternate options to make it more versatile when you use it in your creations. 

Dalek Pinpoint Font 

Dalek Pinpoint is a clean and precise version of K-Type’s distressed Dalek typeface, a small caps face with overtones of Greek, Phoenician, and Runic alphabets, based on Dalek comic book lettering from the 1960s. The Bold weight is free for personal use. The font contains a full complement of Latin Extended-A characters. 

Burowai – Tribal Font

Burowai is an ancient font style. It is inspired by ancient Greek letters and tribal ornaments. This ethnic font was created by the shapes of tree branches and combined with rough strokes such as ancient symbols inscribed in caves. Perfect for the natural theme, folk, tribal, children, adventures, and social movement. Burowai is a display font representing brave, spirits, nature, and tradition. Perfect for the headline, logo, books, poster, signage, and more. Mix and match the alternates characters to get unique tribal handwriting.
