this text is aesthetically pleasing, but looks quite cliche and very amateur. the drippy, smudgy nature of it lends itself better to a horror, and we are looking for a font that is quite childlike to contrast the dark narrative.






this font was also too stereotypical of a horror/thriller. it is quite arty and looks stamped, but we want a hand written feel to the font. so this wasnt a contender.










this font was quite childlike and handwritten, which were two qualities we were looking for. we also liked that it looks drawn with chalk, signifying a younger child, a toddler maybe, which was a nice twist. we didnt however like how rounded in shape the letters were, we felt it was too perfect and not scratchy enough.






this font was too perfect and pristine looking, it wasnt right at all. it looks too computer generated and not stylistic enough. it also looks quite feminine and we want a font that is more androgynous in gender.



this was an important step in deciding the aesthetics of the opening, we decided in the end we weren't sure about any of them and we are going to continue to look for a better font. we want one that is easily readable and not too artistic, but is childlike, stylistic and handwritten. we dont want it too neat, but neither do we want it to be too smudgy and stereotypical. it is hard finding the right font, but we are sure that none of these fit our idea.
