From Wikipedia:

Cape Fear is a 1991 American psychological thriller film directed by Martin Scorsese. It is a remake of the 1962 film of the same title, which was based on the 1957 novel The Executioners by John D. MacDonald. The film stars Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange, Joe Don Baker, and Juliette Lewis. Robert Mitchum has a small role in the film, while Gregory Peck (in his final theatrical film role) and Martin Balsam make cameo appearances, all three having starred in the original film.

The film’s title and credits are set in Fault Line and occasionally paired with an oblique Helvetica Condensed.

Title sequence designed by Elaine & Saul Bass.

    Seeing a film made before 2000 where the opening credits don’t have gate weave is very jarring.
