Letterpress Business Card in Boardwalk Empire
In the pilot for Boardwalk Empire there's a nice tight shot of a letterpress card (at about 41:49).
Someone working on the show understands the magic that details can contribute to making a show feel genuine. Next time you watch check out the lettering and typography on the posters and billboards along the boardwalk, for example.
Love seeing how classy and timeless a well-set type can look pressed into paper.
Maybe my typophile sisters and brothers can help out here but it looks to me like a bold, condensed slab serif (could be Clarendon or Consort), set with a wedge serif that might be Engravers Bold.
