About the lettering

The poster sets TITANIC in gold Trajan capitals across the ship's bow, letterspaced wide so the seven letters span the hull like a nameplate. Poster-typography coverage consistently describes the Titanic title as a variation of Trajan rather than an off-the-shelf setting, with the tracking doing much of the ceremonial work.

Common questions

What font is used in Titanic?

No. Trajan is a commercial Adobe typeface.

Why do so many movie posters look like Titanic?

Trajan became the 1990s default for epic films; Envato Tuts+ groups the Titanic and Lincoln posters as variations of it.
