Here's the image

Quite a nice script. I hope someone identifies it.

I guess I'll be the one to say it. I don't think this is a font. Notice that the two l's are not identical. So next I ask myself, what if I had to try to re-create it? I looked for a font that had similar joining and looping characteristics, and hopefully a similar S (Helinda Rook was the first one I found, and not necessarily the best). Then I played a bit with it in Illustrator. I compressed and rotated the S and I pulled some outline points on the t, added a leading tail to it, as well as some shear and stretch on the lower case letters to produce a somewhat similar look with about 20 minutes of inexpert manipulation.

i'm still looking. I personally think its a font.

Bj�rgvin (the guy who was looking for this font in the first place) told us that he found out that this actually is the handwriting of a famous old danish artist. Sorry guys.

I thought this was the entire thread. I'm glad you told us now, but it would have been nicer to tell us sooner, so that some of us wouldn't still be searching (or disagreeing whether it is a font or not).

You were right Mike.. that sure is good handwritting tho. Wish I could write that nice.

Sounds like a project for P22 fonts, they should make this a new one.

Mike, I had just found out when I told you guys.
