fonts

 I found some different fonts which are similar to the type face used by the russian constructivists
Geo Medium

Russian regular

Molot


I think I prefer the last font, although that one isn't a font I can download - it was made by August Heffner for Marina Abramovic's art exhibition 'the artist is present', inspired by Rodchenko.

The top three fonts are from royalty free sites so would be fine to use but the last isn't - so if I was planning to publish the book I wouldn't be able to use it.
They are all quite similar fonts, but I feel like the first three are more novelty fonts imitating the constructivists. I will have a play around and see which fits best with the image.
