Early fascination with design?

Civil War era posters. It’s a period of time I find fascinating so I’m preternaturally drawn to almost anything from the mid-19th century, but in particular the typefaces used in posters for elections, advertisements, propaganda, etc.

My “tombstone” typeface:

Serif would be Berkeley Old Style. Sans Serif would be Futura. Both have an aesthetic I find appealing. I had a type teacher at PC tell me that there are basically 15-20 classic typefaces and all the rest are either derivatives or fads. These two were on his list — if it’s for eternity I’d like it to be a classic.
