Grand Budapest Hotel / Mendl’s box

bwhetsell

I’m trying to identify the ornate display type on the Mendl’s pastry box in Grand Budapest Hotel. Unfortunately, clean images of this are difficult to come by.

Two things to note:
• The outlined glyphs (Pâtisserie) and the sold glyphs (Nebelsbad) appear to be the same typeface.
• Seemingly all of the glyphs have median spurs.
• The capital L strikes me as distinctive (the lower horizontal stroke curves up in an unusual way).
