Greetings,

Anybody recognize the fonts used for "Archibald" and "Family Library"?:

Many thanks!

The FAMILY LIBRARY lettering is fairly close to Christian Schwartz's "Giorgio", designed for the NY Times. The sample below is from my Serif Guide. It has a lot of alternates, and possibly other widths as well.

[edit: I should credit the graphic as coming from the Schwartzco site]

Okay, so the "Family Library" font is actually Elongated Roman.

Mike, that was a really creative suggestion. What an eye! I never would've put that together.

Now we're just shooting for "Archibald."

Thanks, folks.

I think searching for Antique could help, but I stumbled across something similar while looking for another font. Check out Teaberry by William McChesney. In a pinch it might do, or could be modified to be close, I think.

Lovely suggestions, Mike. Very much appreciated!
