this title card appears to be in NEWS GOTHIC, stretched slightly, and is likely Bitstream's version #starwars

SEQUEL TRILOGY (2015-2019)
the crawl titles for The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker were both set in NEWS GOTHIC EXTRA CONDENSED BOLD rather than the UNIVERS 49 of the prequels, likely to make the crawl similar to TESB

SEQUEL TRILOGY (2015-2019)
however, The Last Jedi's crawl title was set in UNIVERS 59 ULTRA CONDENSED for probably the same reason as ROTJ: the capital J of NEWS GOTHIC EXTRA CONDENSED BOLD is considerably less pronounced

i should mention that the change wasn't made right away, and you can see the original typeface in this instagram post by rian johnson when the episode 8 title was announced

SEQUEL TRILOGY (2015-2019)
the crawl body of all three films was set in Bitstream's NEWS GOTHIC BOLD, and the episode number was made slightly bolder than the text

SEQUEL TRILOGY (2015-2019)
the end credits were all set in FRANKLIN GOTHIC MEDIUM
