Hi All.

Recreating a movie poster for a client that is based on a 1963 movie poster for Cleopatra (w/Elizabeth Taylor). Any help would be fabulous... or even a direction.

Best Regards,
Okay

Drawn by hand, not a typeface. You can tell by how the repeated letters don't match exactly.

Hmmmmm. That'll cause a problem given the budget and time frame... Any hint at what might satisfy a need?

(thanks btw, really appreciate it)

Hi,
you could search font sites for ‘greek’ or ‘ancient greek’.
