Hey everyone!
This is my first post, I hope you can help.
I am looking for a typeface for the BURMA SHAVE logo. I know that it is most likely handlettered, and if so, can you suggest a very very similar font?
Thanks so much.
The problem you will have trying to match it with a single font is that the lowercase is basically like a glyphic italic* with minor swash, and the cap B and S are both swash scripts.
Take a look at a few of the script and italic faces on FontMesa.com and see if you like them (though the scripts are connected, the have the feel).
*FYI -- "glyphic italic"
Nick Shinn's Beaufort Condensed Heavy Italic has a similar "feel" in the lowercase, but a font is more precise and consistent than a handlettered sign.
