Font ID and organic/handcrafted font recommendations

jjdewtt

Hi!

I’m trying to track down this font (script) even though I think it may be a custom font. The closest I could find was Dear Sarah but that is more oblique/slanted than I would like. Any recommendations for other typefaces with this organic/handcrafted type of feel? I have looked at the following: Olduval, Galahad, Baker Script, Modern Blues, Sunshine and Tree. Basically, I am looking for a font to serve as a starting point for a logo for a handmade jewelery (beads, etc.) company.

Thanks so much!

My apologies, my previous post did not include an attached file. Here is a link to the font in question: http://www.allegrocoffee.com The script font in the allegro logo... Thanks again.

That was probably hand drawn. You are best off hiring a good letterer, but here are some ideas:

Pablo
Vincent
Schooner Script
Chanson d’Amour
Constitution

Or Cezanne

Thanks so much for your input! I may pursue Cezanne as a solution.
Thanks again.

P22, Veer, Myfonts have others as well. La Danse from P22 is quite nice.

I wouldn’t use Cezanne for a logo. It’s been used so often for so many things that it will fail at helping to create an original brand.
