Title font for the book "Goodbye Madame Butterfly"

Any ideas? I tried WhatTheFont, but I don’t think the source images are large enough. Thanks!

Couldn’t find out what it is. All I can offer is a better sample.

Closest I can find is Gringo Tuscan.

JP, thanks for the larger sample. Alas, WhatTheFont still coming up without a match.

Hmmm, yeah, Gringo Tuscan is definitely close—I just wish it didn’t have those weird spiky bits coming off the midpoints of all the characters.

If you are only doing a couple of words you could convert to outlines and push in those points, I suspect.

Hi. the title fonts for Goodbye Madame Butterfly are Parker Slab for “Goodbye” and Parker for “Madame Butterfly.” If you have the book, check out the very last page after the acknowledgments, where designer Craig Mod lists all the fonts used in the book. Cheers, Bruce

I was looking for a link that showed these and found an earlier thread with this link.

Good find, Mike!
