Alice, your attachment didn't attach...

Alice sent me this recently and I told her I didn't recognize it, and thought it might be engraving or film type used by a stationer. It's the main thing they can offer that we can't all reproduce by buying the font.

Mike, if you don't recognize it, I'm not sure any of us has any hope in doing so!

I'd check the wedding-invitation catalogue that was sent to me in the mail -- now that I'm caught up in the wheels of the bridal industry -- but I threw it out in disgust. I'll be designing ours, thankyouverymuch -- now if I could only find the right typeface...

Looking at it again, and checking some other books, I think it looks a fair amount like Zoom Script (Solotype). Jason Walcott did this one for Jukebox as "Opulence". The sample is from my Script guide. You can get it from Veer.com

Whoops, wrong 'r' and wrong 'S'. If it's one of the similar Z-series Solotype Scripts, it means it's probably only got a small chance of being digitized. I guess I really didn't know what it was.

Sorry. Still I think this is quite close.
