Taking Old and Making it New

Source
This is a new movie that is coming out called Jane Eyre.  I'm sure many have heard of the book (which I really didn't until I had seen the movie trailer on television).  So I went online to look up what the movie/book was about and had seen the poster.  Not only is the artwork fantastic on it, I think the type (though very simple) brings out a contemporary and dynamic effect.  The font they used I believe is Helvetica Neue Ultra Light from what WhatTheFont.com had said, but if it were any other font, it wouldn't have worked.  The first suggestion WhatTheFont.com gave was Prelo Hairline, which had overall a very thin stroke.  Though the other font is thinly stroked, the bigger the font, the thicker the stroke (vs. Prelo Hairline).  I believe this movie will be just as good as the movie poster and trailer portray it to be!
