Elixir 21.0by Mark Searfoss
Although this style has been imitated and offered for sale on lesser sites, don't be fooled by poor quality imitations. Be sure to get the real deal from Letterhead Fonts. If you're attempting to recreate authentic early 1900's lettering in your design, LHF Elixir 2 is the perfect font. Talented designer Mark Searfoss is a true expert when it comes to replicating vintage lettering from the late 1800's and early 1900's. This multi-layered font set has proven to be a favorite amongst professional designers needing to recreate old fashioned labels and signs. This new version features many improvements over Elixir 1, including: some alignment issues, improved kerning, new bonus alternates and 2 new styles (Faded & Wood).

If you like Elixir 2, you should see Whistler & Robusto also by Mark Searfoss.
