i tried a mess of fonts for you and fell back on my old reliable of bank gothic md bt, used two font sources (one light grayscale one darker grayscale) and then faded them both from bottom up and finally gave the bottom (lighter) font source another fader. kinda hard since there isn't a lot of blank area for font there but personally, i like the way the darker silhouettes come through the fonts. that's my three cents.
protractor, whatta 'bout you ?

I def like the idea phil came up with, I would take his method of using the font and run with it, but before u make your final decision on font, try the font phil suggest with your word or whatever your putting on there, because not all fonts look great on everything, sure it might look nice on the word text but for what you put on there, it might not be so good, if that font doesnt work or look that great just try it with another font, because that text effect looks great on that

thanks sirus (name from 70s "The Warriors" ?) to add on, you want the font to be bold and soft since the image is a combo of soft theme with sharp contrasts.

this time the text is in the back and softer. putting it in the back forces the illusion of the silhouettes walking 'towards' the text, making it the center . the viewer's eyes start at the bottom with the darker silhouttes and then are drawn in the direction of the movement to the lighter font at the top. same font. most of the same faders.
