Hello all. I'm desperately looking for a font -- not for someone to send me this font, but rather for someone to tell me if there's a font similar to this that I could go buy. This is from an old postcard and a client of mine wants it replicated. If you know of anything like this font, please let me know! I've already searched through all the databases that look for fonts based on description -- with no luck. Thanks in advance!

[advice: crop some of the letters because their filter has a 25 component limit (?)]

It seems that face is a wood cut sample, and may very-well not be a digital face, just an image thats been maniulated.
My suggestion would be to go to the bookstore or library and find a book of old wood types. Scan em in and have some fun. You might not find it, but you're bound to find something real close

Thanks for the suggestion, F_EddyShears. Unfortunately this is a rush job and I can't go have fun with it! I'm sure it's not a digital typeface, as it's from a old postcard -- but I didn't know if someone knew something close...

how many letters do you have to do with that font nac? anyway to rig it?

I may be able to fake it, and probably will have to if I can't come up with something else, but I was hoping to find a close enough font that it wouldn't matter!
