Thanks, and have a great easter!

PS: the movie is from 1945

Wenn es nicht am Standfoto liegt, daß die Buchstaben so unterschiedlich aussehen, wäre das ein Zeichen für gezeichnete Schrift. Das Vorbild ist ja bis heute im Filmstudio beliebt.

Most, if not all movie tiles until the mid of 1970th where hand written by a calligrapher.

Only for the huge amount of text in the closing credits, typeset text was sometimes used.

 

Many of the movie titles typefaces have never been released as typesets or even digital fonts.

 

 

btw. Do you know typography.guru?

yep, know it, been there and registered :-)
