Edwardian script (font face="Edwardian Script ITC" size="5") is the only old-style calligraphy font I can find on my computer.

Not even the Declaration of Independence, for Heaven's Sake! But close enough...

In fact, I only see three calligraphy fonts standard on this Mac, and none of them except for Brush Script are designed for readability. And Brush Script is too bold to use for anything but headlines.

I do have these fonts on my computer, do you?

Futura is a favorite old-style font of mine. It's rarely used except for Weimar-era German Expressionist Art and Neon Signs

Because of its consistent stroke width.

you'll see it used to advertise posters from the 20's and 30's like this and this:

Can you read this? It's the only Newspaper style font

How about this? It's a medieval-style font

Or perhaps this? Very Victorian.

Where are the newspaper letterhead fonts?
