Cuneiform style font from a role-playing game

Esay

I'm trying to identify the attached font from the source book of the Ancient Kingdoms: Mesopotamia RPG by Necromancer Games, 2004. WhatTheFont didn't help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone can recommend a similar font, that is a readable font with a bronze age/cuneiform feel to it, that would also help.

Thank you.

That's not cuneiform in style, but calligraphic.

For a similar look, consider Waters Titling or Trajan?

You might want to try something closer to the style you presented.

The suggestions were a bit too Trajan and less stylized whereas this is more in the same vein but less constrained by the "wall." The serifs may be a bit longer than you want.

Sistina Titling may be another option. But possibly a bit bold for your tastes.

Yes, calligraphic, but I think it looks a bit like it's pressed on clay, which, sadly, the suggested fonts seem to lack.

Thank you anyway!

Some other possibilities: Alcuin Light, Codex (Calligraphic 421) and RomeoDN - Mike Allard's digitization of Stephenson Blake's Verona Humanistic.
