Bunkhouse.de — the website of independent German filmmaker Philipp Majer and his film production company Bunkhouse — uses GT Cinetype by Grilli Type, a typeface based on a design that was engineered for a cinema subtitling machine.
Philipp’s work is divided into two sections: an area for full-length documentaries (with their own pages) and a grid view for his daily client work. Yellow subtitles help navigating (“Go Home”, “Play movie!”) and provide additional information, such as project titles. In the future, we plan to expand these subtitles to dynamic comment on the visitor’s behavior: Is she scrolling? Is he moving his cursor to certain things? Is she clicking, waving, searching, playing, reading?
As soon as the subtitle idea came up, it was clear which font to choose.
