Evening everyone,

Wondering what font was used for the Shawshank Redemption movie poster. Thanks for any info.

I think it may be Wade Sans that's compressed a bit.

Here's Wade Light compressed (I eyed it). The spacing is way off but it gives you a rough idea.

James, Thank you, this is so great... I typed in my question and relaxed for the rest of the evening. And in the morning I have my answer. My theory of "design elves" has finally been validated.

Thanks also for going the extra step to create and post a sample. I appreciate it. Alyce

Now THAT would explain the pointy ears...
Nice going Jamie!
