Im in talks with this guy about creating fonts for him that have an important historical background associated with his company. Most of the type is over 75 to a 100 years old and were used by his company since the 1930's. They would be branded under his name and since the age the wear and tear would show in the recreation. Are there any issues legally with doing this and if so what would they be? Also, if it is ok to do this and resell them what would be an acceptable resale value for them.

Oh forgot to mention that they're wood type.

1. Why should the wear and tear show?
2. Should not a legal issue trying to recreate the font from scratch. selling them though..depends on your client and how much control he wants on the type.
3. resale value will depend on just how good the type is and how extensive the family.cheers!
now show us the goodies!!

wear and tear would show since these were used mainly in the 50's-70's so theyre not pristine but what they were used for is teh most important thing he wants to show/portray . From what the guys is saying he ran the press 24 hours straight from the amount of work they were doing in that time period.
