Just last week a friend asked me what font I thought they used for The Godfather. Naturally, back in the day before they had digital type, there was a thing called a “letterer” or “title designer” whose job it was to make custom titles and logotypes for things like companies, movies, and candy.
However, that was a very long time ago, and many of those hand-made titles have been digitized and expanded into full alphabets using best guesses based on the existing samples.
And today while searching for something completely unrelated, I found this: http://www.typenow.net/themed.htm
Enjoy!
