Heroine is a new typeface designed by Göran Söderström. Söderström was inspired by the typeface Windsor, designed by Eleisha Pechey in 1905 and the typeface used in the titles of many Woody Allen movies.

The OpenType typeface is due to be released on September 15, 2009, by the independent type foundry Fountain. Until then, here's the movie trailer itself:
