The font used in the opening titles is a sans serif font and is slightly titled to the left. It is yellow and because of that and the font, the text looks like the type that would appear on a sign at the side of a deserted road. When the text appears on the screen, it flies up like it is a car speeding down a highway. This is the way that the text links to the title and plot of the film.
