Writing about
Doomsday on the sci-fi/horror board led me to wonder how many directors have (or had) a favorite font to use for the credits of their movies. The only two I could think of off the top of my head were John Carpenter and Woody Allen. The Woody Allen font is Windsor-EF Elongated and I think that the Carpenter font (one of my favorites) is Albertus.

I've been meaning to ask this for a while:
Anybody know the font that Tarantino has favored since PULP FICTION?
20th Century Fox films in the postwar-to-early'50s era almost always had the same font in their credits, esp. the b&w ones. Since Darryl F. Zanuck was calling the shots then, I'd credit him as a filmmaker with a favorite font.
