Both of your samples and many others. However, not always. Here - you can see. ("free" - when a director or production designer is goimg to work for free....maybe then.... )

Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't see that. Please contact Yves Peters - the modreator. Mr Peters is the owner of the type foundry "LE CLUB DE REMISE EN FORME". Since he's a nice guy, he'll give you a free font.

Hey, H B M, keep me out of this, willya?! And I AM a nice guy.

For your information, Abraham, as a general rule credits at the
bottom of movie posters usually are set in Univers Extra Condensed,
as a search of the Type Identification Board would've revealed (it's
always handy to do a search when you know what you're looking
for, in this instance credits on movie posters).

Wow. That was a joke. My idea is/was the same as Mr. Mark Simonson wrote here:

BTW, Scully, you won't get much help here looking for "FREE" versions of commercial fonts. Many of the experts here are in the font business (that's how come we know so much about fonts). You might as well go to a bank and ask them if they know anywhere to get counterfeit money.

Oh, well.

H B M, whenever you see this smiley attached to a paragraph
of mine it means I'm joking as well. As I noticed before, sometimes
the smileys don't seem to do their job. Sorry to have startled you! :-)
