Film poster essential: Steel Tongs font!

The institutional information at the bottom of a film poster is in a very distinctive font - you can't make a film poster look authentic without it...


Luckily, we have downloaded the font on to school computers - it is called Steel Tongs. The way the font works is that CAPITAL letters work normally while lower case letters each correspond to one of the movie credits ('Directed By...' 'Written By...' etc.)

You need to use the Steel Tongs guide to see which letter you need for each credit - there are plenty online, this link has one website you can use.
