Suitable font for 1920's Charleston poster
Hey!
I need some help with a poster I’m doing at typography, uni. I’m supposed to create a poster from 1920’s about a Jazz/Charleston dance festival. It’s about making people of today getting involved and passionated.
So I’m looking for a good font that might be from that era or maybe inspired from it. Also if anyone’s good with coming up with names, I would be very pleased with name suggestions of this festival.
Thanks!!
