Hello folks,
After browsing font.com and the entire linotype catalogue, it is time to call in the cavalary.
Please be so kind to look at the following file: http://regularworld.com/img/bg_foot.gif belonging to the eye pleasing http://regularworld.com. The creator used some kind of ornament font or perhaps it is part of a normal font family. Be as it may, who can identify this rather victorian looking ornament?
Thank you!
Similar stuff in Bickham Ornaments but no exact match.
It is indeed pretty close. Is ornaments part of the Bickham script family?
And do you perhaps know simular fonts?
I don’t know if it’s still part of the Bickham family, I have an old version called MM that doesn’t seem to be available. It has a lot of bells and whistles - ornaments, special characters, etc. This ornament you have looks pretty standard, I’m just not sure which font family includes it.
Nat Vignette seems to have a lot of swashy ornaments

as do the Fleurons family
I wouldn’t ever waste my time at font.com - which is essentially just an affiliate mirror for fonts.com, which has its own problems. The best way to find this sort of thing is to run a search for ornaments or fleurons at MyFonts, whose keywords and selection are currently the best (until — and this is where my bias enters in — FontShop.com relaunches within the next few weeks).
Stephen do let us know when the new site is up.
thanks guys!
It’s the letter “y” from Nat Vignett One. Used the very same character for a logo, funny how great minds think alike :-)
That should be Nat Vignette One of course.
Actually it’s the ‘v’ not the ‘y’. Lucky guess on my part with that font - I was too lazy to look for the actual character.
