I'm mainly a pinstriper (or i pretend to be!) but have a few small lettering jobs coming up on the table...i'm looking for a font or fonts similiar to this. preferably a cheap (or better yet free) font
doesnt have to be exact just something in the serif style.
sorry for the stupid post. im a lettering retard.

Letterheadfonts has a few free downloads, and a lot of nice payable fonts, some of which go close in style to what you want. The Fontry (a merchant here) has a CD bundle for sale too with some oldy fonts & a lot of prismatic ones. A&S have a lot of nice scripty ones. DNA have a few sort of like that. Nothing really nice is free! Alternately, make your own & scan & vectorise them!
P.S. nice work!

Rob..Since the gilding looks hand done I would think the actual lettering for "Phil's" is also a hand rendered lettering job.
"poker room" would be easy.."Playbill" font would work fine for that style.
For "PHIL'S" why not just use something like Benguiat (or any other serif letterstyle that you have or like) and manually modify it with your favourite software?
Since you are asking about a "font" I think you want to produce a pattern for painting or cut in vinyl?

Rob go to www.letterheadfonts.com and you should be able to find a nice period font. If you can't find it there then I'd give up.
