I have learnt from this that typography can differ depending on which sub-genre of thriller it is, what year it is from and what is going to happen during the film. I can see the most popular type of font used is sanserif which may be because it can have a range of different meanings to it as apposed to serif font, which is typically used in romantic comedies as is can have a feminine feel to it.
