Can anyone suggest something similar in feel to this? This was drawn by hand by a stone cutter, but I would love to find digital that is similar in feel

Hello Yves.Thanks for your comments. I had looked at Lithos also. This is for a book cover and I mentioned to the publisher that it reminded me of the best of fifiies book design. Gravity is interesting, but as you said, it lacks the energy, and to my eye, the elegance of the hand cut one.

Your sample is somewhere halfway Optima and Lithos.
It somewhat reminds me of movie titles from the 50s.

This one lacks the energy of your sample.
