Art Deco Wedding Font
Dear Type Gurus of the World,
I am looking for some advice on Art Deco style font that would be good to use for wedding invitations. The wedding will be held in a great, old theatre that has a sort of Art Deco flair so I want to tie the invitations into the setting. Being that this wedding will not be held in a traditional setting it is not absolutely necessary to follow the traditions of formal or script type or design, but I do still want to keep it classy.
Thank you in advance for your help and insight,
Duncan Robertson

Mark Simonson has a nice typeface that can be seen here: http://www.ms-studio.com/FontSales/mostra.html and he also has this Art Deco inspired Roman face that can be seen here: http://www.ms-studio.com/FontSales/goldenbook.html

I quote from a recent post of mine:
I’m actually working on a typeface with a very ’30s / ’40s look… here’s a preview for everyone. It’s almost done, with a small caps weight, a lower case, and many, many alternates and OpenType features. I’m currently trying to get retail distribution for it…
end shameless self-promotion.
