In this post, we take a look at a few popular TV shows – some past and some current – and the fonts that were chosen for their titles.
It’s interesting to see the large number of the classics being used, but also some more modern typefaces and there are certainly a few surprising choices.
If someone from our audience was involved in these font selections, it would be great if they could share some insight as to the reason behind a font choice.
We used various methods to determine the fonts that were being used, however, it was not always possible to establish full accuracy and in such cases a close alternative was listed.
This post is by no means a collection of the best or worst TV shows, nor is it an endorsement of any potential presidential candidates 😉
