Font Focus

 Since I'll be out of town this week, I decided to get the more tedious things out of the way for my film opening, including finding the perfect font. I had a particular vision for the font to feel handwritten and minimalistic. I didn't think this plot would fit with a bolder and taller font such as an Akira or Bebas Neue because of the mellow tone I want to depict throughout my opening.

  On that note, going back to my vision of a minimalistic font, I found a few options that I think could work really well for my opening. The first one I found just today is called "against" and it seems handwritten but in a dainty and whimsical way. The next one that's a strong contender for me is "Aubrey" which 

A Bebas Neue font

looks fairly similar to "against" but without the 

whimsical squiggly lines outlining the letters.

I'm not sure if I want that whimsical touch to

the font itself, but I'm leaning toward "Aubrey"

more at the moment. There are two other fonts I did

come across and downloaded because I also liked their minimalistic style. Exhibit A is "Margita". I liked 

how it looked with the lowercase letters, but looking at it again, it looks slightly to square-edged for me.

Hence why I think I'll be ruling this one out. I need to feel completely sold on the font I choose.

For now, I feel like I'm pretty set on either "against" or "Aubrey" as my film opening font, so once I get to post-production, I'll go more in-depth about how both of them look on screen. Searching for fonts today has saved me a lot of time after filming, so now I feel safer going into filming and post-production. See you then!
