The light novel series of The Apothecary Diaries uses Black Chancery for the covers of its English translation.

Black Chancery is a typeface from the 1990s who naive quirkiness seems to have given it enduring qualities. Here, it’s consistently used in white over the image, with a shadow blur effect the colour of which varies from cover to cover.

Netflix have also opted to use this timeless typeface for their title cards. Classic.
The y of “Apothecary” has a small inline highlight, which suggests a typeface modification; also copied by Netflix’s use.

Credits are added in Minion and Tangerine.
