As this project is focusing largely on the typography, it is very important that the fonts fit in with the visual style of the piece. To start with I did several searches to try and find the fonts that were used in the film, or on the DVD cover.
This search didn't get anywhere, so I decided that I would try and match a the font into the scene myself.
For the temple scene I tried to find a font that fitted in with the Egyptian style writing that is in the film. This had to be not to sharp, but still had to be legible. In the end I settled on NYALA.
For the City scene a lot of the text will be projected onto buildings so it needs to be bold in order for it to be legible. In the end I settled for Chunk Five
As I found myself working on university computers more and more, I found that they didn't allow installation of fonts. For this reason, I had to find a font that had similar attributes of the font I had already used; Rockwell extra bold seemed a good fit for an alternative.
