The Deer Hunter Font

The Deer Hunter is a 1978 American epic war drama film co-written and directed by Michael Cimino about a trio of Russian American steelworkers and their service in the Vietnam War.

The font used for the film title in the poster is very similar to Optima Extra Black, which is a clear and precise humanist sans serif typeface designed by the renowned type designer Hermann Zapf. Optima was inspired by classical Roman inscriptions and is distinguished by its flared terminals – the ends of letters.
