If fonts were to play the starring roles in a movie, how much would they tell you about each scene?
In this movie the fonts set the scene, provide the sound track, tell the the story and alter the mood. What do the typefaces tell YOU about this story as it unfolds? Take the survey and tell us at the end, here are some of the suggestions so far:
“A very messed up zombie-rom-period-action clip”
“About a normal guy, where something horrifying happens and then he has to fight for his life”
“Bizarre coming of age story”
“Harry Potter kind of thing but not as dark and with sort of a whimsical ending”
“Tons of action and probably explosions of some sort”
“In the end, everything works out and he gets the gal”
Do you agree?
