If you look on the Mackintosh link further down you will see that Willow is very similar.

There’s a Casmate font called “Deco” which is ideal. Check and see if you already have a font on your own system with this name

Just an idea for a layout you might like.
Fonts are Plaza and Broadway engraved or Broady-E in Signlab.

martin thanks for that

Astaire is a 30s font, so is Baby Teeth.
Color choices (at least here) for that era are creams, butter yellows, jade green, and a rich red.
Think of the colors of the rolling pin handles and dishes in Granny’s kitchen.
