About the lettering

The trilogy's title was drawn as bespoke lettering rather than set in a font, which is why every candidate here is a recreation or a near match. Forum threads also take up the poster lettering and the in-game text of licensed titles such as The Battle for Middle-earth 2, which use other faces again.
