Mystery Science Theater 3000 end credits

Hi All,

Does anyone know what typeset is used for the end credits of Mystery Science Theater 3000?

It looks oddly like the font used for this message.

Here's a screen cap of the credits if that helps.

This screen cap is from a 1989 episode.

Thanks!

Not the same as this message font, which has a lower case h ascending higher that the upper case T, unlike your sample.

The MST3K screen cap font is Cheltenham (1896, Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue and Ingalls Kimball).

I think you nailed it!

Thanks, PublishingMojo!

I think the closest thing so far is Cheltenham Bold. But it still isn't quite right.

Here's another screen cap.

The 8, S, I and N look a little different.
