For the main title of the film, I’m looking for something rather playful and vibrant, I’m thinking along the lines of the title card for The Suicide Squad (2021, dir. James Gunn).

Marco Polo (Eras Bold ITC)

Marco Polo (HP Simplified Jpan [with Bold])

After these experiments I would like to conclude that Eras Bold ITC is the most promising option – and also one of the few options that comes inbuilt to my editing software (Pinnacle Studio 24) so that means less work font-finding online. Win win.

That said, I have a cool idea for the shopping sequence. For shots of Marco and Polo searching, I may accompany them with some sort of heavy metal (one of my friends loves that stuff so that's where that inspiration stemmed from), and for shots of Adria some light jazz could work nicely.

Only downside is I have to be cautious of framing as there's an entire field of vibrant green grass just out of shot, something obviously not present in the concrete high street of the initial location I'm aiming to emulate.
