Type Question
Greetings,
I am helping a friend sort through some type and we couldn’t identify these…(see attached pic of selection from type.)
I’d really appreciate any info!
Thanks!

The first is Tudor Black (an ATF face) and the second is some variant of Cheltenham. It looks like someone misread the “p” for a “d” when the fonted the type.

The first is ATF Tudor Black No. 2, and the second a condensed variant of Cheltenham Bold.

Great! Thank you, your help is much appreciated!
I’ll probably have some more type mysteries to solve soon…
