Here’s a fun little project titled Cinematypography by talented UK student (and author of September Industry) David Corti. Cinematypography is a collection of 70 film titles renamed to coincide with a typeface. David reached out to the creative community for the new film titles. Participants include Build, KentLyons, Neue, SampsonMay, This Studio, Un.titled and yours truly.

Unfortunately the poster is already sold out since only 50 were printed.
