Farnham?

Btw, congrats on Patria and Nour, I just got my copy of Creative Review!

MMmmmmm... Swashes!
— Homer Simpson

The Lanston Type section of P22 has quite a few well and lesser known historic types with swash, alternates and fleurons.

Emigre Daliance

The ’bakermat’ (dutch for ’cradle’ or ’birth-place’) of such swashes is the mannerist cancellerescian majuscule. The reference majuscules throughout page 63-69 of my Raffia Intials presentation are drawn from a book whose title and author escapes me at the moment, but the book shows as many variations for each letter of the alphabet. I might be able to dig out bibliographic particulars on the source on the weekend if it would be of use.

But do you really want to send your student down a chirographic detour?

Poetica is has a festival of swash characters. Many of Slimbach’s faces have them, as he is very good at them.

Don’t forget Auto and Sauna from Underware!

or Typofonderie’s Le Monde or ITC Bodoni Seventy-two or Palatino

I ran a search for “Swash” over at Veer, and this is what I came up with.

I think the two latest additions are the new Bookman Complete and Whomp.

Typically great help guys.

:->
I would like my students to walk the world, critically, taking
[provisional] decisions that will make them happier than not.

This particular student for example is considering attending this:

And I’m encouraging her (even though she could buy a lot of great type
books with all that money :-)... but not least because she’s already armed
with my chirographic caveats! :-> Anyway - as you were.

Additional Fonts with swash caps:
Baskerville, Cooper Black Italic, Deepdene Italic, Garamond Italic, Kennerly Italic, but you might need to go into the metal books to see them (I’m not sure to what extent swash cap components of common pre-digital faces were routinely digitized).

You’ve reminded me of the particular “swash factor” in Baskerville.
Because the original italic caps had a strange “swash distribution”,
in that some glyphs were very “straight” while others were overly
swashy, revivers of Baskerville have elected to either preserve the
original scheme or do away with the swashes entirely. One elegant
solution can be found in ATF’s metal Baskerville: non-swashy main
sorts, but swashy, in fact extra-swashy, alternates. Here’s a scan
from a print I did at Archetype last year:
