This particular font is one of my favorites. It's popped up in more than one of my history books. Thought I'd ask if anyone could name it. Thanks in advance.

Here are some pictures:

The first picture's font is unrelated to the other two. Look at the capital E and compare. Very different.

The second picture shows a cutesy resort kind of font. Look at the lowercase a. I can't say I like it, but the single deck a in the body text beneath it is more my style. I like a sans with a fulsome a.

The others are faux historical looking serifs. Not my thing at all. Trajan is the defining font of that realm.

The name of your second headline font is "Papyrus". It is already used to death and (to my eyes) is well on the way to becoming the Comic Sans of the 21st century — eye-catching, but generally inappropriate where used.

Well spotted. Papyrus is well known as "the Avatar font" and tends to show up anywhere Biblical too. I seldom see it!

Someone recently combined Papyrus and Comic Sans. I'd give you the link but I'm on mobile :/

Good, but overused:


Not so good, but just as overused:

Ah. They are different..............thanks for one identification, anyway. I'm glad this got attention. I didn't think people looked in the Off-Topic section.

In the first picture: the "Industrialization" headline seems to be ITC Tempus Sans (also in picture 3,4 and 5). No idea about the "Chapter 24" abomination...

Since you posted it to a totally unrelated thread (I presume accidentally), I'll repost it here.
