Brush-y font from Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times intertitles

Hi, I am trying to find the font to the intertitles to Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times (1936). It is quite thick and brush-y and has a very peculiar lowercase "f". Was this hand-painted and not a font?

Hand lettered. Note variations in repeated letters.
Don

thanks!
