In the sequence Sherlock Holmes main titles we see that the font of the titles is very bold and old fashioned which illustrates the fact that the theme of the film is set in the Victorian era. The title seems to to be in New times roman font, which is very black and bold standing out from what appears to be an aged paper background created by special effects. This gives the type written effect again emphasizing the timing of the film. We later see a close up shot of a signage which states 'Baker street', it obvious to say that the sign is a old post code sign establishing where the setting of the film is going to take place. The old patterns around the signage again has connotations with the whole Victorian theme. The camera then starts to zoom out and goes into an arial shot of 'Baker street' establishing the area.
End credits
The font style used for the end credits is calligraphy styled, this also holds an old fashioned/Victorian effect to it. The frozen shots emerging into a sketch like photo again has connotations with the fact that its Victorian-like as there was no graphical technology during this time period, so its obvious to say the editer's wanted to stay in connotation with the Victorian theme.
