Escrow’s a good idea, Stephen. Thanks. Though I wish i good find something that had a bit more of a vintage flavor to it ...

Though it was just recently

Though it was just recently designed, the Font Bureau’s Escrow is based on a similar style and its weights and size (Display and Text) variations might be the best option here.
