I would have thought it would be difficult to find a less "indigenous" typeface than a Victorian display face.

At least he isn't looking for Papyrus.

I've seen Davida, which appears to be available from a number of foundries, used before where a Mexican-American atmosphere is being suggested.

Something between Blackletter and Davida is a tall order, but perhaps, ironically enough, the face from Letraset called Victorian might fill the bill.

The querent is searching for information, not aesthetic judgment.

Of course, there's also Pretorian and even Hobo (Roberta, which also appears on that results page, might be of interest) that he might consider.

Besides Roberta, for something new, that isn't overused, there's Durham Abbey; while that is pretty clearly Victorian, given the right context it could still work for the querent's purpose.

Of course, authenticity isn't a bad thing, either. I'm not sure how much authenticity there is in these suggestions from MyFonts:

Quetzal,
Yacqui, or
Xolto...

Here are a few more ideas:

Dime Box NF,
Kirsty, or...

No, neither Supper Club JNL nor Unovis is what I'm thinking of, but there might be something similar but less extreme that would do.

Ah, it took a while to find an example; Iron Type SG was what I was thinking of. There was also Mekon, but while it had the right weight, it didn't seem to have the right spirit.

Ah, I finally persuaded MyFonts to show me what I was looking for: Eagle.

Maybe Alegria?

Also, Bremen might do in a pinch.

I was merely pointing out that Davida is not an indigenously-informed design.
What is a 1960s neo-Victorian type -- Brit pop art?
I believe it connects with the foppish Carnaby St fashions, eg the Beatles with a kind of garish 19th century style military/band uniform and strange facial hair, Sgt Pepper. I had one of those jackets with the high collar, 4 or five buttons at the front, and double-vented at the back. The Kinks had that look in 65.

Plantagenet Cherokee would count as an "indiginous peoples inspired font". Of course, it probably isn't very comprehensible to those not fluent in Cherokee (or ᏣᎳᎩ if you prefer).

Hmmm. That's really weird. The link I pasted was http://www.tiro.com/syllabics/index.html.

Ciquenta mil Meticais might be what you are looking for.

Copal?

Linotype says it’s “inspired by the carvings on meso-American monuments.”

Hey I am looking for an indigenous peoples inspired font.

It would be great if agitationagency (Theres, right?) clarifies what does exactly “indigenous” mean but, since she is writing from Oregon, I am assuming she is talking about Native Americans, not Chicanos or Mexican-American or Mesoamerica or whatever.

Many thanks.
