Aug 11, 2018 at 08:38  [reply]  FONT NAME PLEASE!!!

The width of the letters look hyper expanded.
Compare to the title with width reduced to 60 percent:



Still looks wide. Perhaps the original letters were still narrower?

AFAIK no match in a digital font.
Similar style found in Lazybones, Candice, Goudy Two Shoes and Tickety Boo NF.
None close enough to recommend as a substitute.

Suggested font: Lazybones

From another source, with vertical perspective corrected:

Signmaker's interpretation of a popular Victorian styles Concave Extended, Concave Tuscan and Arched Gothic. A version of Concave Tuscan:



Dick Pape made a digital version of this Concave Tuscan, which is availalable from Luc Devroye. A narrower version is offered by Wooden Type Fonts.

AFAIK there is no exact match to _DELICATESSEN_in a digital font.

Handlettered.
Compare to an earlier version, perhaps from the 1950s, give or take several decades after 1938 when Colman merged with Reckitt:

AFAIK no digital font is close, but the general style reminds me of various typefaces from the first decade of the 20th century: Windsor, P22 PanAm etc.
