Looking for the font of this old poster from 1978 (Mindanao)

Featured Replies

Hi everyone!

I hope you could help me with this font.

The name of the poster is "Sining Bayan presents Mindanao: a drama with music on the Moro people's resistance in the Philippines.

I found this at:

It is an old poster and it was published during the 1978.

So this is the word and the letters were M-I-N-D-A-N-A-O (one of the Philippines major islands); I just want to specify it as the D looks like P.

I am looking for a digital version of this. Commercial fonts are acceptable and if there would be a free alternative for this then it would be better. I need it for a certain branding.

Thank you!!! :)

That is almost certainly hand-lettering. There are some subtle differences which can be seen in PhotoShop between the two /A's and /N's; very slight, but there. Also, 1978 precedes the digital font era by twenty years so I consider it unlikely anyone would have made this into a digital font except for personal use. It is also unlikely that it was a phototype headline font due to limited appeal.

Thank you very much for your help Mr. Thomas!!! Anyway, if this has other similar fonts? What tag or category will it fall?

Tried it, I saw a few, but nothing came close in terms of its vibes. :(

But still, thank you Mr. Thomas!!! You helped a lot!!! :)
