Sherlock Holmes Typography Research
For my project I wanted to find a font style that would suit the theme of Sherlock Holmes during the Victorian era. Below are some of the fonts I have found that I could possible use as it would match the theme I want to go. Some of the fonts I have included are related to sherlock Holmes as some fonts are used for the movie titles from 2009-2011 and the game series 2016

Victorian Decade
TO begin my research I wanted to see what other artists have used as a typeface for Victorian projects and came across a few Victorian styled typefaces that I wanted to make a note of so if i decided to change up my project I could look at this more inspiration.
Victorian Parlor
Mahaputra
Saissant
This typeface is used in the movies and it caught my eye for many reasons. The way this typeface is designed makes it feel that its been wrote with charcoal and gives off a strong and artistic feel due to the extended serifs used mainly in the S and T.
Vermandois
This typeface was used for the sherlock Holmes games although through discovering more of it through research I feel that this font would be too disjointed to read and would cause problems for the reader as it may be too complex for content on a page, although could make an appearance for a title or heading.
Clarendon BT Pro Heavy
This font style was used for the movies. I has very clear blocked letters which provides power to the name of the title and directs the users attention to the title
Attic Antique
This font provides a distinctive vintage feel which would suit the timeline for the era that I want to create my project. I feel that this style of font would suit headers and title pages and it has strong bold letters that are clear to see but also come with a slight fade you would find on an old document due to the ink fading overtime.
Cortado
This is another typeface I found that I appreciate due to the boldness and stroke like lettering. I feel it may be too bold for the content I will include because I want the style of my project to feel more elegant and gentle in approach and this typeface in my opinion comes off as strong and bold in projection. I may use this for a title page or may decide to fade the opacity of the font to match my art style I want to go with, I will take a more in depth look of what this font will look like when i replace my content with this style to see how it is portrayed but it is one of my favorites I have found during this research period.
Caflisch Script
I appreciate this typeface as it shows off its elegance and appreciation for type. I am edging towards choosing this typeface for the content of my project as it matches the elegance and sway that I want to provide my project with.
