What is the Astaire Pro font?
This is a deco-style text OpenType Pro font loosely based on Koch’s Locarno as seen in KochAltschrift a recent free German tribute to Koch’s work.
I was familiar with Meek’s Letraset presstype version called Locarno, but I never liked the proportions used by either Meeks or Koch. So I radically revised ascender, descender, and x-height to make them more usable and brought the shapes within my sense of design. Mine is probably closer to Meeks than Koch, but hopefully it is a tribute to both. Astaire looks much more modern and it is much more usable. More…
I added oldstyle figures, small cap figures, small caps, several ligatures, and more. There are an italic, bold, and bold italic also in this family

It is always best to pay for a premium font rather than trying to find an illegal download. The benefits of paying for Astaire Pro is that you get the license to use it leagally.
