These are from a newly acquired book on advertising from the early 1900’s. This book is filled with all kinds of amazing things, including many examples of beautiful Typography like you the one you see above. This one is called Eccentric Egyptian. The commas look like mustaches to me. How fun!
Hello I’m interested in using this typography, do you have it in a .ttf file? or is it just a graphic and would it be possible to purchase a commercial license for it.
Hi Nefertiti, This is not actually a font, it is a scan of a Typography sample from a very old book. Most of our readers use these for craft projects. I hope that helps!
