The use of font in titles

In most film noir OTSs they use font the matches the genre of the film. Film noir's usually involve rule breaking, violence, and sexual attraction. They make the font match up to this by making it look like the text was drawn by someone who has cut the tip of their finger to use as a writing object. This is a good use of font as it blends in well with the OTS of a film noir, which usually consists of dark, dingy shots in smoke filled rooms with chiaroscuro lighting effects.
