For the title, we chose this font because of how it looks as well as its symbolic connotations. Its boldness could suggest the main character's confidence in her ability to hide away her obsession from the public eye while the black splashes on the white characters could symbolise the deterioration of her mind and how insanity will ultimately stab her in the back and expose her when the obsession becomes too strong to control.
For the credits, we chose this font because of it creates a stark contrast with the title. Its thinness could suggest the main character's (the hairdresser) thinning sanity and how she is slowly but surely falling and succumbing to the darkness that lurks in her head. Since the font is all capital letters, it could symbolise the forcefulness of this obsession with hair. Not only is the hair dresser becoming insane, she is subconsciously forcing herself to fall further down. This is why we feel that this font was the best in order to convey the overall atmosphere of the opening as well as the main character's state of mind.
