Storybook typography

adevejian's picture

I'm looking for good examples of Storybook-styled typography and related fonts. Doesn't have to be necessarily blackletter-styled type.. looking for whimsical, fantastic, and the like. Also any guidance on where to find such old storybooks ie. specific libraries/shops in the Los Angeles area would be helpful as well.

A few crude examples: 1, 2, 3

Thanks.

Jason Walcott (Jukebox) has made a few of fonts inspired by Disney titling and artwork:

Alpengeist - from the Matterhorn
Baileywick Curly and Confectioner - similar to your curly sample
Baroque Text - an fairy tale blackletter
Fairy Tale
