what is the most used font in movie subtitling? it would be even better to know a font that was used in the old "film noir" genre. although i have no idea if that was any different.
i am not looking for new broadcast fonts, rather something authentic.
i am thinking condensed, rounded etc.
THX!

thanks nonetheless.

all these suggestions lead to modern fonts, i want something that was used in the past, old gritty b/w films, you saw this subtitling in lots of film noirs here in both french and dutch..
i think i may go for a condensed helvetica rounded, and open up the kerning a little. may give me the same look..

No, Typo. it's actually a series of stills to be used in an artfilm cinema to promote a lawyer office...
but it's in that gritty old style..
