Heather,

It's based upon the hand engraved fonts used on US currency. I checked for comparables at myfonts.com. Close, but no cigar. Maybe someone else will have more luck.

It looks like that slanted shading has been drawn in and isn't integral to the font. It's different in each example of the 'e', 'r' and 'n'. I've no idea what the font is, though. Sorry, not much help!

Freda, I think you're right. Maybe a double burn old negative with an open face font and a slanted grid. Either that or hand engraved. Thanks.

Interestingly enough, yesterday I picked up a thermographed business card, and I just noticed that the person's name is in the same or a near-same typeface. So this may be a font that is more commonly found in a stationery printer's repertoire.

Not sure how much that helps, though!

Neil

It's not a good sign when Mister Keller can't identify your font, but why don't you try:

If it's identifiable, someone there will know it!

It appears to be an old metal typeface offered by Lanston Monotype
known as Title Litho Shaded (#246) aka Litho Roman Shaded.

Perhaps someone digitized it for their personal use. Or maybe they are
still using metal type! Quaker City Type Foundry provides metal type
fonts of it under the name Litho Shaded.

Opps! All the characteristics appear to match...but the shading was
finer and wasn't on an angle. Sorry, my memory isn't what it was.

As Thomas Phinney says, Typophile guys know there stuff just about better than anyone.

I have a font similar to that named Cash. It has a regular and italic style that have a line pattern in the letterform (horizontal lines) along with a plain (unlined) regular and Italic version. It is from Typecase Volume 3, published by Swifte International. I purchased this set of fonts on CD back in 1993.

You can see the font at this URL: <http://www.pbase.com/t1mm01961/root>
Download the image and preview it in Photoshop.

I don't think these font packages are available anymore. :-(
If you just need a couple words, I might be able to create a vector file you can use. Email me here at the forum if so.

Thanks Tim, I have chevalier, which looks exactly like cash, so I have done a temp proof for the customer in that. They are particular though so the horizontal instead of slanted lines may still be an issue. I appreciate the effort.
