True Detective poster and title sequence

You can read an interview with the title sequence designers at Art of the Title. Unfortunately nothing about the typography is mentioned.
You don't see the Condensed width ofITC Avant Garde Gothicused very often. I can't confirm the serif, but I'm pretty sure it'sArno. The delicate hairlines of this calligraphic serif get lost in these small titles. The designers might have used the regular style of Arno and would probably have better luck with the sturdier Caption variant.
For the main title and poster, the late '90s, DINish, pseudo-grungeITC Conduitmakes a comeback as the gritty, oddball, industrial sans that it is. Conduit doesn't reveal its goofy side as long as you don't show its lowercase.
