(x) Art Nouveau/Hobo type font in logo - Hercules (Herkules) {Mark S}

Hi

Trying to identify the typeface in this logo. I need to recreate it for my client as a vector file. It was probably created late 80's early 90's in Australia. The closest I got was Hobo. I have used Indentifont and WhatTheFont to no avail.

Can anyone help?

There was an old film font called Hercules that this matches, but the only digital font I found with that name is a completely different design. It's possible that there is a digital version of Hercules with a different name.

I think this was an old Letrasetfont called Herkules, based on an old Art Nouveau era typeface called Hercules. I think Dieter Steffmann at typOasis (Designer section) has a digital version of it.

Thankyou so much. Herkules saved me. Should have clicked that it would be an old Letraset typeface.
Once again - thanks!
Cheers, Kate
