A Typeface in Donnie Darko

The Director's Cut DVD of the movie Donnie Darko contains a number of shots showing text in the typeface NeuAltisch. These two pictures are in the trailer.

NeuAltisch is a calligraphic version of Fraktur, but one which has taken many liberties with the basic design. The lower-case letters are less angular, and the upper-case-letters have moved a bit away from the traditional forms. (What is Fraktur? It is a medieval style that lasted in Germany as a text font into the 20th century.)
