I'm not totally sure that this question should be in this part of mac rumors, but I was wondering if anyone knew what font was used for the words "knife merchant":

I found it originally on a post card in actual print, then went to the website. So I am now wondering if it's an actual font, the name of the font, and perhaps where I can get it.

Thank You,
Aaron

I can't get a clear enough image to use identifont. Does anyone know what font is used at the bottom of the poster for the cast?

Quite a good match (http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/castletype/shango/regular/) (using WhatTheFont (http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/)).

With WhatTheFont you don't aswer questions, you just upload a jpg (or whatever) of the image containing the text :cool:.
