Please help me to identify these samples. I would like to use these or similar fonts to convey beauty, glamour, charm.
Also does anyone have any recommendations for fonts that convey 1950's Hollywood glamour/movies/pin-up girls.
if anyone knows any good links for vintage (50's) fonts or graphics please help. Thanks!
Thank you!
If anyone knows what the top one is, please post.
I couldn't find a digital version, but the top one I believe is Orplid.
Argh that is too bad, I can't find it either? Does this mean I'd have to find somewhere where I can use letterpress for this?
Thanks anyway you guys.
Some links:
font diner
house industries especially Sign Painter, Las Vegas, Tikitype
Jukebox from Veer
You could do a search for "fifties" at myfonts
or at fontscape
for starters

Well, It was originally a metal face, but I always remember seeing Orplid in rubdown/cutout lettering catalogs in the seventies. It was also available in phototype for headlines. It was pretty common in type catalogs so I gotta think somebody's digitized it by now but possibly given it a different name.
