Anyone know what the fonts are in this Ad? I know one of them is Gill, but not too sure about the decorative serifs?

Cheers

'THREE HOUR' could be 'Caslon Open Face' or 'Academy Engraved'..

unknown

The script appears to be Snell Roundhand Black with some stroke effects added.

I think THREE HOUR is actually Cloister Open Face.

unknown

Yea, Mark, I think youre right..
Hmm.. It seems I totally missed and overlooked 'Cloister'..

unknown

AT and AUDITORS look like good ol' Arial with outline stroke effects (the R is the key); and FANTASTIC looks like Compacta Italic.

unknown

(Blush!!) the R is the key alright. Yes, of course it is Gill Sans. I guess I was so sure a default font would be here somewhere. My face is VERY red.
