I would like to know if any one of you knows what font Kiln Sans & Serif are based on.

Here's the font: www.yellowdesignstudio.com/fonts/kiln (images below)

I'd need it because i would like to use the non-distressed version of the font.

Font creator, Ryan, told me they made it out of scans, but does not recall base font...

Would any of you have a clue on that? What the Font gave me approximative results, but cannot find similar fonts for both the Sans & Serif version.

If nothing shows up, i might have to "un-distress" by manually, and would appreciate advice on how to do it in a not that tedious fashion...

Thanks a lot for your help!

My best guess is Kiln (Sans & Serif) is based off of Antique No. 3.

I was able to track down some samples of digital versions of this typeface (see below), but they tend to deviate from the original version of Antique No. 3 as evidenced by this example published in Linotype Faces: One-line Specimens c. 1920:





Digital versions samples of Antique 3 designed in 2005 with some deviations. Roundness leading into serifs, extra embelishment on the numbers 2 and 7 (just to name a few). However, the most distinct character (the capital Q) along with the "flipped" foot of the capital R match closely with the original specimen and the Kiln varieties by extension:
