Film title inspired font

Here’s something I have been working on for a while, it started out as a (fairly) faithful rendition of the film titles but I found it to be too crude to work as a font. So this is my third rework that I am finally happy with, although it has veered off a fair bit from the original but I think it looks much better.

    Hello Nick,
    Nice work! Out of curiosity: why no bindings with the capitals ? With calt maybe?

    That's why the font is called Dorzoff.  ;)

    I don't think they need to be joined, besides they wouldn't work if set in all caps.

    Connections coming out of /b and /o might be too thick.

    I like the way the font comes across! I also think the level of legibility is in general appropriate for a title font. However, at first glance, I thought the /I were an /O (probably because of the rounding at the top right).

    (probably because of the rounding at the top right).

    And not knowing the actress?

    Probably not as well as you do. But her name is the only reason I can be sure that it is an /I and not an /O. Maybe a sample of "If" could be a test if it is read as "Of".
