Lingerie Fonts

Élise

Last time while reading a magazine, I saw on the back page a lingerie ad, that contained 2 fonts I wish to identify or at least find similar ones.

The fonts I'm looking for are
- the one from the logo : Triumph
- and the one in which the sentence "L'armature qui se fait oublier" is written.

Thanks for helping me out !

'Triumph': not a font; reminds me a lot of Samantha Italic BTW;
('MAGIC WIRE': Brown LL)
'L'armature qui se fait oublier': can't find a match but probably custom and exclusive for Triumph; [edit]: got a name and confirming hunch, bespoke typeface called 'Triumph Tailoress Script'; reminds me of Hubert Jocham's like Susa and Madita;

As Ryuk says, the scripts are bespoke. Here are some monoline substitutes for _L'armature qui se fait oublier_. Hand Cursive

_Triumph_, also bespoke, is difficult to replace with a substitute. It seems to be based on the traditional 18th and 19th centuries English script but with a reduced inclination.
For example Bo Berndal's Carl Beck

Another script that attempted this is Aldo Novarese's Juliet, which has been digitized by Rebecca Alaccari and Patrick Griffin as Ambassador Script

Here is some more of "Triumph Tailoress Script" as used at the Triumph website:

Perhaps the additional letters will assist in finding a closer substitute.
None of the suggestions so far really catch the flavor of this script.

Adding an interesting and beautifully crafted script as alternative for the main woodmark: Feather Script. The buckled/ribbon /T is even here and ready-to-go.

Donald H. Tucker

Feather Script is an unusual combination of an classic structured lowercase similar to Englische Schreibschrift with casual swooping capitals. Feather Script seems to give some hint as to how letters other than the _T_ in _Triumph_ could work with the _Triumph_ lowercase.
As for the second script -- Triumph Tailoress Script -- it's a far from casual design. I made a somewhat similar _f_ from scratch.


The exercise was surprisingly time consuming. Wish I could find a similar design as elegant and structured in an an existing font that is available to the public.
