Gangs of New York is a 2002 historical drama film directed by Martin Scorsese, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, and Daniel Day-Lewis. Set in 1862, it follows the story of Amsterdam Vallon as he seeks revenge against the man who killed his father in a gang war in the Five Points district of New York City.
The film title on the poster seems to use a font called Bordeaux Bold, designed by David Quay. Bordeaux's serif style captures the Romantic era's emotive quality seen in works by Hugo, Berlioz, and Andersen.
