dark victorian type

Michael Green

hi

im working on a book cover looking to give it a slightly macabre feel.
id like to keep the type historically on point with it being from the victorian era.

quite like virginroman from panache but cant find much background info and am unsure of the era.

any recommendations would be much appreciated!

kind regards
mike

What about Gable Antique?

a search for Victorian at myfonts gives you lots of other options.

thanks patty.

gables nice but not quite what im after.

been trawling the foundries for hours looking i can assure you.

does anyone know anything about panache’s virgin roman?
can find any/much info about its style from google etc...

regards
mike
