Hello! I'm doing a rush job for a school's natural history museum, and they are looking for indoor signage (small signs) which describe items, etc. for a show.
They want a 1900's typestyle used. Some of the descriptions can be lenghy and will be small type.
Kim- I have the Letterhead fonts Cd. It is well worth the purchase. I have used the fonts on many different projects. They will e-mail them to you and then send you the cd in the mail. Good luck.

i have purchased some of the letterhead fonts. i guess i'm just not sure which one to use for lengthy descriptions and actually what is from the 1900's era and which is isn't. i was looking for specific names of styles from that period.

This link takes you to the Fontry and to Atkinson's fonts published as early as 1909.
Egyptian Block might be what you are looking for in the small text. Vic G

Hey Kim, Allison's cd is on the way you should have it soon. Roman Classico is a good one but might be kind of thin, otherwise a condensed french or a standard block will be good. Frank Atkinson's work as a designer was fantastic, but a only a few stlyes would be good for small wordy stuff.

thanks captain, we were wondering when that cd was getting out...
i bought the adkins cd though, and used the block something or other font. worked well. and i def. will use these fonts in the future. guaranteed a job will come in now that i can use it, probably next week. always happens that way!
