2 font identification requests, please. 1) I work with US government documents, and a lot of docs published in the 1950s-early 70s use Futura on their covers and text. For reference --  Example text in Futura --  But I've noticed that sometimes they use a font that looks very similar to Futura but isn't -- example:  You can see by the angled stem ends (perpendicular sans?) of the capital A and R, the way that J in "January" descends below the baseline, the straight part of the bowl in the capital G, the number 1, etc. that this isn't Futura. Any clue what it is? (It's not Twentieth Century MT -- I already compared.) 2) Inside this same document with the mystery font on the cover, they use a sans serif font in their headers -- examples:  Is this Futura Bold? It looks very much like it, except Futura Bold's quotation marks are straight not curly?

Are any of you aware of a close match to the woefully non-digitized typeface Benedictine?

It looks like a knockoff of a Futura light italic made for a typewriter. Check out my post here and the next two replies for a little more info -- http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3473301&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=10#post447243660 On a similar note, this site is a great resource: http://fontsinuse.com/in/1/industries/56/governmental-civic

The IM FELL family (Dafont.com, Google fonts) is free and has a ton of styles to choose from.
