Can anyone put a name to these letters? I know I've seen the first one before but I can't think where. I've looked at Solotype and Spiece Graphics and Nick's Fonts and have struck out.

Middle one is a Venitian of some kind, although a really funky cut with those concave serifs. Cleaner, more regularized digitizations include ITC Golden and Nicolas Jenson from Spiece.

For the last one, try something from Dan Solo. Excelsis is a decent match, but you might be able to get even closer.

The first one has me stumped. It resembles Brittanic, but is obviously funkier. G'luck!

The first one has some similarities with Globe Extended. I could swear I've seen it somewhere. It's driving me crazy!

McKenna Bold gives a very similar feeling to the second example, even though it's not an exact character match. I have the same font with the name "Colwell".

unknown

The first is like a hybrid between Globe and good ol' Grant Antique.

Yes, their humpbacked illegitimate child.
