As I was searching through different examples of bad typefaces, I came across this movie cover. When I initially saw this image I immediately disliked the type face for a couple of reasons. The type appears to be a very sloppy script that consequently ends up doing nothing for the actual title of the movie. A movie that is titled "Mine Own Executioner" should have a more bold and daring type face rather than script. Overall the red color draws your attention to the title however the script typeface they used softens the movie title thus losing the dramatic/thriller emotion behind it. It could be improved by using a typeface that has more jagged and rough edges that is not a serif nor script.
