I can’t see your sample.

Sorry I kep trying to attach B/W art... When I changed it to RGB, it finally showed up.

This looks a lot like Pretorian.

Thank you so much!!
Only problem is... the family of Pretorian costs $160, and we cannot afford it. I wish we could just buy one of four... Can anybody recommend any fonts that are close to Pretorian?
Thanks!!

It looks like a condensed version of an old, predigital typeface called Romany was used. I know of no digital version.

Pretorian is DTP’s revival of Pretoria. Seeing as to how they have no claim to the rights for Pretoria, I’ll point you to Dieter Steffmann’s version. He calls it Vivian. No promises as to relative quality.

Thank you so much of mentioning Pretoria. I was doing search on Pretorian and of course did not find Pretoria..., which we actually have on our Mac! (from Font Shop Berlin, if you are curious) Thank you, Mike.

(edited)I didn’t read far enough to see you had a solution...
