I’m terrible at identifying this style of fonts. Maybe someone here recognizes it.

Thanks

Magdeburg has a very similar feel but it’s more delicate.

It’s Bastarda style, judging from the shape of the ‘o’, and the closest style in general form (not details) that I could find was Washington Text (see http://bowfinprintworks.com/Script03Pg5.html). The ‘a’ is also not a very typical blackletter shape.

It would be my guess that this is custom lettering or a custom font, and not something commercially available. It looks very professional, whatever it is.

Magdeburg is the most similar, thank you pattyfab.
