The below document is from 1965 (scanned PDF) and I really like it. Any idea about producing this layout with the included fonts. I'm sorry for not being able to provide my own work about this as I'm very new to LaTeX.

Hi! I marked your post as "needs more clarity" since your question is very broad. In addition, I added a screenshot of the document, – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Sep 03 '21 at 16:25

Maybe have a look at https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates to get some ideas. – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Sep 03 '21 at 16:26

3If you are very new to LaTeX then maybe don't start with a huge project like mimicking a special template, start small instead. – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Sep 03 '21 at 16:27

Please edit the question to limit it to a specific problem with enough detail to identify an adequate answer. – Community Sep 03 '21 at 16:27

Are you asking about the fonts or the page layout? – Peter Wilson Sep 03 '21 at 16:32

1If the problem is to find a similar font, start by the The LaTeX Font Catalogue – Fran Sep 03 '21 at 16:34

Welcome to StackExchange!
The typeface for the title (INSTRUMENT NOTES) is Warren Chappell's Lydian, first designed in 1938. The sans serif type is Futura designed (at least to start) by Paul Renner. For some strange reason, the two typefaces are found together rather more than one would expect.
Cheers.

Never mind, just saw your profile saying "Also author of Fontographer: Type by design." :) – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Sep 03 '21 at 16:50

- In the title of your question you mention "typeface" (font).
- If you look at the document properties of the PDF then you see the following (also see here). But I am not sure if these are the actual fonts since you mention that it is a scanned PDF.
- Or consider Fran's comment: https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/
- But if you are looking to re-create the layout etc., then I repeat my comments: (1) If you are very new to LaTeX then maybe don't start with a huge project like mimicking a special template, start small instead. (2) Maybe have a look at learners' material like this.
