karipu Posted November 21 Posted November 21 Can anyone identify fonts used in an old Finnish film poster from 1923?
MissNobody Posted November 21 Posted November 21 The most similar for second and third line - I can find - is Bigticy. First line, I draw blank. Also it looks like lettering (originally).
Solution Riccardo Sartori Posted November 21 Solution Posted November 21 The sans appears to be Werbe-Grotesk. 2
Kevin Thompson Posted November 21 Posted November 21 NUMMISUUTARIT might be Werbe-Grotesk. EDIT: Have to remember to refresh before posting—well spotted, Riccardo. 1
karipu Posted November 22 Author Posted November 22 Yes, NUMMISUUTARIT is Werbe-Grotesk. Thank you all for the tip. I haven’t yet found what font is ’Elokuvanäytäntö’; it might be lettering…
Ralf Herrmann Posted November 22 Posted November 22 Full example: Looks all like letterpress type and borders to me—the headlines probably in wood type. If one takes the time to go through all the European wood type from that time, it’s probably possible to find it.
Ralf Herrmann Posted November 22 Posted November 22 Checking Letter Library for wood type, I think I quickly found it: Schelter-Antiqua in wood: https://archive.org/details/PlakatschriftenJ.G.SchelterGiesecke/page/n31/mode/2up 2
Les Posted November 22 Posted November 22 A cut is available from Walden Fonts: https://www.waldenfont.com/ArtNouveauPrintshopVolume1.asp 2
karipu Posted November 22 Author Posted November 22 S it.Thank you! I found the Schelter-Antiqua in Walden Font. Werbe-Grotesk I haven’t been able to found; probably no one sells it…
