Learning Curve is close to the script... The other one might be Chalet Comprime or maybe Compressed Trade Gothic or Dafont has SF Movie Poster Bold

like the compressed and fixed weight here

This image is pretty abraded but does anyone know of anything like this?

like the subtle deco-ness

Apologies if you already got my earlier post. -it's not showing up on my end so I am trying one more time.

This looks lost like Palatino to me, but for a more Greek/Roman look, Cochin would get you there - both are usually standard issue with most computers.
Dafont has Optimus Princeps too.

Good luck!

Koeiekat - thank you so much for your input, this is super helpful info -exactly what I was looking for.
I will be doing a script, so all of these steps you mentioned will likely be necessary.
I am thinking 3 hours per letterform/glyph total at the high end -yes?
OMG, my hourly rate is $100 an hour.... I thought maybe that was on the high end -maybe I should raise it! -or move to Europe!

Metaphasebrothel -thank you for elaborating on Software.
I'll be creating the letterforms in Illustrator.
Clearly you think ScanFont is better than Font Creator: With ScanFont (currently at $99) can I still edit the glyphs to fine tune them within ScanFont, or do I go back into Illustrator to make adjustments?
And at what point would I want to step up to FLS?

Price is less of an issue than the desk hours of the learning curve of the software. -I'm still waiting to hear what the deadline is,
but I know I definitely will not be given 6 months to 2 years to complete this -4 weeks tops.

Cheers!

My client needs a fully functional installable font for their design team to use.
I'd love to hear from people about their experiences doing these projects.

What kind of time (ball park) do you typically spend on designing the letter forms - and what kind of letter fems were they?

How many hours I can expect to spend setting it up in Font Creator, (or whatever) to iron out the kinks and generate a good working font?

Thanks!

I don't actually HAVE this book, but if I did, I'd look it up! Does any one know what it is?

Does anyone know of anything on Dafont with this look?

Anyone know a free version of this? I want the texture on it, plus it's a nice bold font similar to Futura that I don't have.

Does anyone know what font I can use to make some lock-ups like these?
I like the wavy flared serifs on the left in particular.

Thanks!

Outstanding -Thank you so much!!!

Anyone know what this one is? -or have a recco for something close?

You'd have to do a little custom tweaking, but Lobster would work...

Can anyone tell me what font this is?

Yes- you're right, thank you so much!

Awesome -Thank you!
