Typography/Fonts in Title Sequences

James Cameron's 1984 blockbuster smash-hit, The Terminator.


The type characters chosen are representational of themes within the film, the font is very plain albeit effective in conveying a technological essence - The words appear as though they are being typed in as programming language like in .cmd, which instantly presents a familiarity with computing, programming in particular. The main title which is soon revealed is in block capitals and stands out blue within a black background, the font also reminiscent of computer hardware/software and the sort. This all carries a distinctly futuristic feel to it, emphasized by the robotic choice of fonts, and chrome on the title itself.
