karipu Posted Thursday at 01:45 PM Posted Thursday at 01:45 PM Can anyone identify fonts used in an old Finnish film poster from 1923?
MissNobody Posted Thursday at 04:36 PM Posted Thursday at 04:36 PM 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 Thursday at 07:05 PM Solution Posted Thursday at 07:05 PM The sans appears to be Werbe-Grotesk. 2
Kevin Thompson Posted Thursday at 07:35 PM Posted Thursday at 07:35 PM NUMMISUUTARIT might be Werbe-Grotesk. EDIT: Have to remember to refresh before posting—well spotted, Riccardo. 1
karipu Posted Friday at 07:15 AM Author Posted Friday at 07:15 AM 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 Friday at 08:33 AM Posted Friday at 08:33 AM 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 Friday at 08:38 AM Posted Friday at 08:38 AM 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

karipu Posted Friday at 10:19 AM Author Posted Friday at 10:19 AM 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…
