Silentina

Before the ˜talking” motion picture was the era of the Silent Movie Stars like Buster Keaton, Lon Chaney, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Clara Bow, Rudolph Valentino, and Colleen Moore. In the early 1900s, star struck movie goers would flock to the local movie houses to see the latest release in glorious black and white. Twenty-five cents bought a ticket, a soda and a bag of hot buttered popcorn enjoyed as the flickering images on the screen transported the audience to another place and time for an hour or two. Short blocks of text told you where the story took place, who the heroes and villains were and other important details. When the actors and actresses, whose expressive faces filled the screen, had more to say, intertitles conveyed their message to the spellbound viewers. Now, you can convey your message with the same glamour and panache with two new fonts created to revive those unsung stars of the silent screen era, the intertitles.

Silentina Movie is the grand dame of silent screen fonts. Elegant, sensuous and polished yet strong and supple, its strength lies in its versatility. Capable of assuming many roles including headline text, print media, poster text, and more, it delivers a stellar performance every time.

Silentina Film is worth keeping an eye on. Oozing charm and pizzazz in a more compact shape, it retains its chic, curvaceous form. Alone or in a supporting role, its shines in many guises; titles, headline text, scrapbooking and logos. Silentina Movie and Silentina Film both have full sets of upper and lower case characters, numerals, punctuation, alternate characters and plenty of accents. When you need substance and style, Silentina should be on your A-list of font choices.
