Working on a new project and trying to set the overall mood and tone for the site. I'm experimenting a bit with some photos I took the last time I was in NYC and scans of old French typography books from the 1940s.

The name of the type face is apparently "Antique de Fantaisie" although it's a scan from a 1940s typography book and not a font itself. For this shot I just clipped out the letters and hand set them.
Here's a picture of the scan - http://cloud.jonathanmoore.com/73z5

@Luke - I agree. Someone who knows how to create fonts should take the scan and turn it into a real font.
I just added the full scan as an attachment to the post.

@Luke I haven't studied up on French copyright law in a while (or ever), but if I understand it right it becomes public domain 70 years after the creator dies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_copyright_law Since the book was published in 1946 the copyright probably still exists, but I can't find much on the designer - http://www.google.fr/#sclient=psy&hl=fr&source=hp&q=dessinés+par+m.+moullet+typographie

I am right there amongst the elegant gentlemen in top hats and overcoats. Very much looking forward to seeing how this develops. Beautiful work.
