....... the shittest font that you least expect that can actually work with the product.
What I'm trying to say is the new Bill Murray film: Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou' uses an awful font (not sure what it is) but for some reason it works - looks really nice - how weird!

I was kind of like that with Lost In Translation when I first saw it. The typeface used (Kabel) was kind of out-dated and ugly but strangely appealing.
Looking forward to Life Aquatic though. What's the next shitty typeface to appear in a movie ID? My bets: Eras.

Its Futura Outline... and I have to agree, it is certainly NOT a bad font.
A funny sidenote however, during the film two of the intertitles accidently use arial instead of futura. Aparently this happended during the editing process... I guess you have to be a pretty serious type dork to notice.
I can hear what the editor must have been thinking.... "Arial is the same thing as Futura.... nobody will notice!"
