From Wikipedia:

The Abominable Snowman (US title: The Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas; also known as The Snow Creature) is a 1957 British fantasy-horror film directed by Val Guest and starring Forrest Tucker, Peter Cushing, Maureen Connell and Richard Wattis. It was written by Nigel Kneale based on his 1955 BBC television play The Creature, which also starred Cushing. It was produced by Aubrey Baring for Hammer Films.

The film follows the exploits of a British scientist, Dr John Rollason, who joins an American expedition, led by glory-seeker Tom Friend, to search the Himalayas for the legendary Yeti.

The title card for the film features handlettering patterned after the caps of Imre Reiner’s Matura (1938).
