The Typography Maestro Getting Calls from Hollywood (nytimes.com)

I'm glad to see typography getting some attention again. For a while it seemed every film was either using a previously-existing brand logo (any superhero film, for instance), or used some Roman serif typeface—usually Trajan.

That Nosferatu is just superb. I want to watch the film just for the title typeface, let alone other recommendations for it, especially one that says it does cosmic horror very well.

Because perfection is timeless and cannot be improved upon. :-)

Typography like display and audio quality related activities should have a huge disclaimer for making them hobbies. Once you learn the ins-and-outs, you are always disappointed.
