I was channel surfing and saw the end of this 80's movie playing. The typeface used in the opening titles and end credits of Excalibur seems pretty familiar looking, but I can't seem to figure out what it might be. I'm starting to wonder if it's something I might have seen in an older 70's or 80's Letraset catalog before digital typefaces became a thing. Any ideas?

Herkules Yes, it was a Letraset typeface. It is also available as a font under that name as well as Excalibur Nouveau which is a cleaner version.

Interesting. According to the Fonts In Use web site Herkules never had an official digital version. It mentions an "unsatisfying" version created by Dieter Steffmann about 15 years ago. Excalibur Nouveau is an improvement, but I guess it's still something done on spec, maybe by a fan of the typeface.
