I'm looking for a typeface similar to the beautiful Lagarto by Gabriel Martínez Meave. Unfortunately it is unavailable for purchase. I'm looking for something with a similar colonial Mexican feel. Typographica where are you?

Did you contact Gabriel? It's true that he doesn't have a distributor, but I'd be surprised if he wouldn't take your money.
Zanzibar has some playful swashy similarities, but it's a little more out of control.

I emailed Gabriel but never heard back. I may just have to try again. Those are good alternate suggestions though - Incognito in particular. Thank you!
I also considered Hoefler's Fell Type Roman (http://www.typography.com/catal... but really enjoy the swashy quality of Lagarto.

Nice reminder, formlos!
Also, ITC Founders Caslon for another metal era repro.
