Noir fonts evoke the atmosphere of classic film noir: dark, mysterious, and dramatic. Characterized by high contrast, sharp serifs (or a bold sans-serif presence suggesting shadows), and often geometric letterforms, they are used to create a sense of suspense, sophistication, and a bygone era. These fonts lend themselves to designs aiming for a retro, vintage, or subtly menacing feel.
