From Wikipedia:

You’ve Got Mail is a 1998 American romantic comedy film directed by Nora Ephron and starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Inspired by the 1937 Hungarian play Parfumerie by Miklós László (which had earlier been adapted in 1940 as The Shop Around the Corner and in 1949 as In the Good Old Summertime), the screenplay was co-written by Nora and Delia Ephron. It tells the story of two people in an online romance who are unaware they are also business rivals. It marked the third pairing of Hanks and Ryan, who previously appeared together in Joe Versus the Volcano (1990) and Sleepless in Seattle (1993), the latter directed by Ephron. The film takes its name from the greeting AOL users receive when they get a new email.

The tagline and logo are set in the Light weight of Berliner Grotesk, with the actor names in the Medium. In the logo, the designer appears to have altered the t in the word “Got”, and the i dot in “Mail” was replaced with a pointer. The casting credits are set using Bee Two, with the URL www.youvegotmail.com in stretched Bee Four.
