A logo not a font.
To approximate it -- not a 100% match -- you can use Cinzel bold, available here at Dafont.

Suggested font: Cinzel



This is a Victorian era font called Columbian patented by Hermann Ihlenberg in 1891.



Various digital versions including Burton's Nightmare, 1996. Note: the _T_ in the image does not match.
Other versions include OPTIGlorietta, Castcraft Software [1990?], Goodfellow, Scriptorium 1993, Glorietta, Solotype 1998, P22 Victorian Swash, P22 2001,
Trinigan, Fontgrube 2012, and about a dozen others.

No certainty as to which version was used for your image.

Corona was also digitized by Bitstream with several versions. News 702 Bold is the version closer to your headline -- note for example the ear on _g_.
Again you will have to do your own compression of width.
Here is a sample at 80% width.

Not an exact match but I didn't find anything closer.
If you have a font editor it would not take a lot of tweeking to make it a close approximation of the headline.

Suggested font: News 702

Looks like it could be a condensed teletypesetter version of Corona Bold, designed by Chauncey H. Griffith for Linotype in 1941.
Regular width digitized by Linotype. You will have to do your own compression of width.

Suggested font: Corona

Signmaker's letters presumably derived from the Bodoni or Didot fonts about 200 years ago.
This sign is made from the same pattern used to make the letters in the enlarged fuzzy image which you posted recently. Here it is at a smaller scale with skew corrected;

No digital font is very close but compare to Monotype Bodoni Bold, which is wider, has smaller serifs, pointed top on _A_ and pointed bottom on _V_ etc.

Suggested font: Bodoni Bold

Hand lettered calligraphy exercise, without a matching font AFAIK. BeneScriptine has some similarity.

Jun 20, 2020 at 09:10  [reply]  whats the font ?

Hand lettered [or perhaps photo type lettered] by MGM in 1944 for the title lobby card. I clipped the lettered parts from the card:

Your image looks like some one has rearranged the letters in an arc.
The reverse contrast letter style was popular during the later 19th century.
AFAIK no exact matches in a font, but I found several that are similar, such as Smokum, a free Google font.

Suggested font: Smokum
