Looking for some old-print serif fonts...

[Ghitulescu]

See the samples below, with the most representative glyphs, like A, U, R, S, g, f, t, s:






It's a font used in print, around 1940-1950.

Thanks in advance

the word is "colonial" font & google is your friend.

There is a very similar font that's from Hallmark. It was (or still is) a font included in one of their programs. See the attachment for the font.

The t is what bothers me the most.
Otherwise the font is close to times family.

It's not close to Times at all.

The shapes aren't the same but it does have that worn look; see

Well, if I would known which font exactly it was close I would have found it myself. Maybe. Unfortunately, I only know it was used around the war.

It's not the worn shape that I am interested in (it's because of the scanning), but in particular the shapes, in particular that of t (it's the only font I've seen with the upper part so long and shifted to the right).

Okay, so...not any perfect matches, but:

• Zilvertype Pro has an "A" like that--but not a t.
• Caslon ICGTitling (not to be confused with any other Caslon Titling font) has a t somewhat like that, lower-case.
• Laura Worthington's Charcuterie Serif is the closest that I'm able to find--it's very similar on the A. Not so much on the t.
  

Also-mentioned: Valifieris and Contenu. Not "alike," but similar in feel, somewhat. The Contenu might suit to channel the FEEL.

Sorry. That one, I suspect, like my last great Font Hunt, may yield nada, nothing, zip, zein. I'm pretty good at finding fonts, and I can't find it or even something closer than what I've listed.

A lot of fonts require extensive hand-searching through old font catalogues. I have the Fontbook, etc., but not that far back.

Thank you for the tips.
I also browsed several hundreds by now pages with fonts, found none.

Yeah. It's one of those fonts that's fallen by the wayside. It's frustrating when that happens, but hardly suprising. I mean...foundries get tired of trying to keep a huge catalogue, especially when fonts (like that one) fall out of vogue.

It may not even been "digitised"...

THAT is actually an excellent point, and highly likely, by the time that digitization became a norm.

A similar t I've found in Fairfax Station NF

but that's only the t, and a few, common, others.
