What is this font?

Asked by A_Wood (201

As I was about to go to bed, I ran into a movie trailer for an upcoming feature entitled Public Enemy. I was wondering if anyone knew the name of the font they use for the title? I feel like I’ve seen it before, and that I should know the name, I just can’t think of it.

Have you run it through the font identification sites like Identifont?

I think it looks a bit more like ‘Govan One Alternate’, although both of those fonts look good. Thanks!

It’s not ‘Govan One Alternate’. I am going to vote for Refrigerator Deluxe Heavy. http://www.ms-studio.com/FontSales/refrigeratordeluxe.html

I’m not so sure. Still a good font, regardless.

I have confirmation from Mark Simonson that it is NOT Refrigerator Deluxe, though it is VERY close.

I love fonts. A friend of mine worked on this movie, let me see if I can find out. This company usually creates the fonts for the movie, so it is probably an original.
