Hello everyone,

I searched through the Typophile and found the “Luxury” font collection by OrangeItalic. I think they are pretty close to what I’m looking for. What other fonts do you think exemplify “luxe.”

(And by “luxe,” I refer to middle-aged/golfer/CEO-with-a-private-jet kind of luxe. Like Trump but with more class.)

Any suggestions are truly appreciated!

Engravers Gothic
Sackers
Bodoni

Faces associated with engraving, things with fine lines in them such as Baroque faces like Bodoni.

Hoefler & Frere-Jones’s Didot cut.
Doesn’t get more upperclass than that.
We are talking high-couture;o)

I knew there had been a previous post about this.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Definitely looking for a serif or sans—ruled out all scripts.

Thanks

Happy Friday!
