Pulp Fiction Movie Poster

07/30/2018

Poster for Tarantino's cult film of the 90s.This film bid farewell to the lukewarm family-oriented Hollywood films of the 1980s and opened up new possibilities for Hollywood cinema. Pulp fiction was a cheap paperback novel sold in the U.S. in the 1950s, and it was a new attempt to sample the atmosphere of the cheap and mundane content of movies in a cinematic way. The posters, which attempted to recreate such content and retro atmosphere, were a difficult attempt to bring in kitschy, retro, and updated 90s modern nuances by imitating the covers of cheap paperback novels, which themselves were dirty. The font used was Aarchen, a slab serif font with a very American bone structure, and Reporter was used in combination, balancing the bone structure of the slab serif with the brush script and the kitschy color scheme.

Typeface

C. Winkow designed Reporter for the Wagner foundry in 1938.The strokes of this interesting script have the texture of dry brushwritten letters, and the alignment is slightly irregular, giving it a spontaneous feeling.it works well in signs, posters, and other display uses.

Colin Brignall designed Aachen font for Letraset in 1969, intending it mainly as a title font. Its strong, concise image makes it particularly good for text which should stand out.

Univers is the name of a large sans-serif typeface family designed by Adrian Frutiger and released by his employer Deberny & Peignot in 1957.Classified as a neo-grotesque sans-serif, one based on the model of nineteenth-century German typefaces such as Akzidenz-Grotesk, it was notable for its availability from the moment of its launch in a comprehensive range of weights and widths. The original marketing for Univers deliberately referenced the periodic table to emphasise its scope.
