I would like to know the type of font used in the old HBO show Deadwood title screen. A small pic of it can be found at www.hbo.com/deadwood right underneath the HBO graphic on the top left. Or by looking at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Deadwood_titleimage.jpg for a little bigger picture.
Thanks!
Whatever it is, the w has been flopped...
That flopped w is worth noting because the title word's characters seem designed to suggest printing from hand-loaded metal type on a letterpress, and I think it's impossible for a metal character to be loaded when it faces the wrong direction. (Actually, if we're meant to be looking at the metal characters as they would be handset and locked for inking, the rest of the letters -- thus the word itself -- are appearing mirrored backwards.)
