You could try Helvetica Inserat, Anzeigen Grotesk, Impact, Compacta, Hattenschweiler or one of the Knockout weights of Hoefler+Frere-Jones.

Cassius seems to be in a Futura Heavy, Clay in a condensed grotesque-ish as Dog Track. Maybe the Alternate Gothic from Elsner+Flake? I suppose you could find some amusement using a couple of the Hoefler & Frere-Jones typefaces: namely the Knockout and the Champion Gothic.
That wonderful Biscayne I suppose it belongs to the Golden Days of Hand-Lettering.

Very good advices, dear KKat, although this HAS TO BE a shot in the blue sky.
Another shot and 20 cents from me: Don't take common fonts, which are seen in 95% of all cases.
Have a look at, for example, the library of Hoefler & Frere-Jones or the wonderful sans or serif-typefaces of the dutchtypelibrary.com. A unique company deserves a unique face.
[OT] I'm out of office for two weeks, dear people. So I won't login not regularly. Have fun.

These weren't made to look old but are digitized scans from old tekst from that moment in time. Nevertheless, have a look at the Cochin-Archaic and the Nicolas Cochin Black.

Do Newspaper-typefaces count? And for example Hoefler&Frere-Jones have worked with a huge amount of magazines developing their custom fonts. Just for a start. I'm not aware of a site which gathers informations like this. But if you have found one (which I doubt) please inform us, thanks.

That sounds like a simple question. Right?
I think this is about the most difficult one I've seen on this forum. I'd like to help. But there is no easy way out like choose this font or choose that font. Typography is one of the few tools you have to influence how readers perceive a tekst at first instance. And once that perception is there it is difficult to change. So, assuming you want people to think positively about your school project you first need to think about what you want to achieve - with whom.
So, before we proceed here are some questions. It is called the typographers brief:
What is the subject?
Is it mainly text or mainly pictures?
What is the goal of the project - for whom?
Who judges the project?
What sort of people are these? Older? Young? Liberal? Conservative? ...?
How do you want the project to be perceived by these people? Jolly? Serious? Scientific? ...?
So, first we define the environment and what we want to achieve. When we know that - then it is fairly easy to find the typefaces (and the page lay-out) that will help to achieve the goal.
OK? Come back and I'll help.
