Crown font

I have been looking for the appropriate font that matches the menu that the crown created in 1936, after some research i have settled on the fact that it is futura. But i have experimented with the different weights of fonts to find the exact match, and although the kerning is out, i think thats because of the print process used back then and the paper has warped.


The futuraBook defiantly seems to be the font that matches up, its weighting
and leading seems very similar and the general shape of the strokes matches
the poster very well.
