SNL - Papyrus

Movie Title Stills
 

Movie Title Stills

Christian Annyas has been archiving screenshots of over 4,000 movie title designs on his website since 2009. Though it has few titles beyond 2014, he is currently working on an updated, more definitive site. For more info on how to support the project, visit patreon.com/movietitles.

Roel Nieskens points out in his blog how more and more commercial fonts are becoming accidentally pirated through Github’s search features. He also gives helpful advice on how you can be aware and help fix this growing problem in the font community.
