Hi, I was wondering what typeface “Decemberists” is is. Here is the poster: http://www.thedecoderring.com/images/items/PF_DEC1_1.jpg
Thanks everyone

No answer here. Just letting you know that you’re not the only one on the edge of your seat about this ID. This is a beautiful poster. Thanks for sharing it here!

Thanks for the reply, it is such a nice poster. In the interest of full disclosure, my response was not really neccesary and I am kind of shamelessly bumping this. If that sort of thing is not appreciated let me know and i won’t do it again, but I am really curious what it is

I’ll ask the band and get back to you.

The FAQ says:
The best way to “revive” your thread is to post a little reminder in your original thread. Please don’t create a duplicate thread with the same request as this annoys the hell out of me.

So, you absolutely did the right thing! ;-)

That appears to be QBF’s Mohair. The preview image is lousy, but I have the font and can assure you that it is a match.

Edit: Might still be available from Castcraft as Emporium Ten and that may or may not be the original name.

How about the subtext? “Long Winters... The Places...” At first I thought it was the same face without the outline and ornamentation, but I was wrong. Anyone?

Thanks in advance!

fyi, saw this featured in Stephen Heller’s New Vintage Type ... it was done by Christian Helms using Opti Emporium, as Mike noted.
