"FRANZ FERDINAND"

FF Zapata, Platon, Archive Antique Extended, and 58 Rodeo are all based on old woodtype which was known by names such as Antique Extended or Hellenic Wide.

Thanks to both of you!
With Hellenic as a starting point, I did some digging and found Hefty wich I think is the font used on all but one of the posters above. The Largemammal Print “FRANZ FERDINAND” poster I think might use hello_caleb's Ethan font.
So thanks again.
