Anyone know good art deco or depression era fonts?
I'm giving up trying to google this because all the results I'm getting are people trying to sell fonts or bad downloads. I'm making some fliers and posters and I want to use fonts that are in the art deco or depression era WPA style. Anyone have suggestions? I've got a lot of fonts through word, publisher, and photoshop. I'm just not sure which ones to use.

Can anyone help me?!

1. Do a search for period fonts
That seemed to turn some stuff up.

3. Copperplate or Optima or Desdemona
All popular during the Art Deco period....


All look very different and are used for different
feels.

Here a link to "deco" fonts...

12. Type the word "free+fonts" in your google search. That should help.
