Does anyone know what font was used for credits in SW posters (Style A, C, half sheet...)? msycamore? :P And if anyone has a high res version of the double bill, let me know.

The font is SerifGothic, but unfortunately it doesn't look exactly the same anymore, the old alternative versions of some letters didn't make it when they digitized it. Below is a chart of all the different versions of the letters.

The new digital version doesn't include any alternatives, the tilted e for example. The GOUT DVD-covers used the new version, IMO some of the old alternatives looked much better.

I thought the double bill was included in the package I sent you? I am almost sure I have it, I'll take a look. Nice covers BTW.

EDIT: I actually like your first one better as it uses Tom Jung's classic artwork for both films, so don't trash it yet. ;)
