Can anyone tell me what this script font is. The 'artificial flavors' bit. I've found Martina which looks right but I need to be able to buy a version of it for work rather than a 'free' site.
Thanks

Martina, which dates from the early 1990s, is apparently based on the photo-lettering era Filmotype Hudson. Some letters in Martina like _E_ and perhaps _A_ were alt letters in the Filmotype Hudson filmstrips. The alt _E_ is found in the digital Filmotype Hudson as an alt _E_, but it does not include an alt _A_ like the one in Martina. The Martina _A_ is either an alt _A_ that was in the filmstrips and was missed in the Filmotype digitization, or was created by editing _a_ when the digital Martina was made.

Updated:
There is also a font called Hudson which has the same _A_ as Martina, but the links from Identifont don't work. See http://www.identifont.com/find?font=Hudson&q=Go
Don't know if this was pulled from sale because of legitimacy issues.
Hudson is currently offered for sale as a FontSite Font. Again, I am not clear as to whether there are legitimacy issues.
Further Update:
I checked both digital Martina and FontSite digital Hudson. The Digital outlines, node positions etc. are virtually identical so one is a clone of the other. Identifont states a 1992 copyright for Hudson by The Font Company. Internal information on the Hudson font now being sold by FontSite claims a copyright of 1996. Internal information on Martina claims copyright 1990-1993 FontBank, Inc. I have no idea which dates reflect reality and who copied whom.

Letters seem to match the sign, except for _A_
