The closest match I can think of for your second sample is Engravers' Gothic

Or maybe Sackers Gothic

Also, Gold from Orange Italic's "Luxury Collection"

unknown

For a 'rough' ( and hand drawn ) version of Sackers Gothic, you may want to take a look at 'Neo Retro', by Heinrich Lischka..

unknown

Oh, and, like Jes�s already suggested, the 'Luxury Collection' not just says, but shouts, big business, to me.. :-)

Or, what about 'Engravers ( Roman )'.?
( Or 'Engravers MT' which even comes bundled with certain Microsoft software products.. )

unknown

Well the White House is all about big business these days.

(she says as she prepares to flee the republican onslaught in her hometown)

Patricia, you are in Manhattan too! I'm in the upper east side way away from the elephants mayhem.

unknown

I'll be staying in a hotel on Upper West Side for five days next week.. Here's hoping the turmoil is over by then.

Well, there is always the old, conservative Copperplate. It goes well for presidents I wouldn't give you a Penny for--but that is just my 2 cents worth.

"THE WHITE HOUSE" looks a lot like Plantin Semibold, but isn't quite. (The "W" proportions are off, and the letters aren't quite the right width.) Maybe it's a custom Plantin?

P.S. The "W" from Cochin comes close to this one.

unknown

Strange that it is the "Dubya" that is off :-)

Lots of luck Franz, you'll need it. I think the president speaks on Thursday. The mayhem has already started but the military (oops) police say they have it in control. No terrorists here, nope, no way, I hope

> No terrorists here...

Well, unless you count the Republicans.
