This poster is from the movie "300". Its uses two different font types and sizes. It looks as though the words "Tonight We Dine In Hell" have more of a Helvetica font, while the "300" is more of a handwritten style, and would be the style we see everyone someone uses blood to write words. The word "300" signifies blood,a and how much bloodshed there is seen in the movie, and in history as it relates to a earlier time, while "Tonight We Dine in Hell" signifies the all out battle that takes place near the end of the movie. Both impose a meaning of war, which is the central idea for the movie, as it is the story of 300 spartan soldiers taking on the Persian leader and his army of one million soldiers. If each of these fonts were not in the color red, it would not impose the same meaning that it does now. The army can also be seen in the back of the picture, and Leonidas leading them to war.

The words "Tonight We Dine In Hell" are specifically chosen because it is a line taken from the movie and is said as the army of 300 spartan warriors see the Persian army in the distance. The typeface and the words chosen for the movie "300" are done specifically and are chosen well at the same time. It is a good movie if you are in the mood for action and bloodshed.
