Newbie here - I frequently visit the bowfin site when I look for fonts, and have always found what I need - until today, and they are on vacation :(

I need to identify this wedding font, or something very very similar, it is attached below, or can be seen here (font #531)

Thanks a bunch for your help, I have looked over the forum and think I’ll enjoy it here!

Dang — I know this one, it’s a classic from the olden Letraset days. But what is its name... Argh!

I think it is called Fine Hand...

Fine Hand doesn’t have that odd B with the descender, as far as I could see from the sample at Myfonts.

It’s an option. That is a low cap height.

Definitely a closed case. It is nice getting some alts in spaces usually occupied by rarely used characters. (Unless of course you were wanting the rarely used characters, I suppose)
: )

I was really trying to match the uppercase E and the L,and I don’t think the fine hand has the same letters E and L, any other suggestions? Thanks so much for your responses!

Thanks, I was just looking again, and the A is missing the little cap too. Ugh! I’m willing to pay for the font - just need to find it!

They look pretty similar to me.

{edit: the image won’t upload but those swash characters are available, scroll down the character map to the alternates}

In case you don’t know how to access those, for PC you hold down alt while typing down 4 numbers on the number keypad, which Character Map (system tools) will identify for you.

WOW - thanks so much - I honestly never thought to look at the special characters!!! I have learned something new - I did see the resemblance in the Fine Hand originally but the caps looked so different! Thanks for opening my eyes!!!!

I owe you guys big time!!!!
