Here's the Sound of Music type, for comparison.

thanks for finding that reference! hopefully someone can ID this typeface for a base.

I'm not sure what the exact typeface is, but "Affair" from Veer is along the same lines.

cool thanks for the tip about affair... I do know of that... but I am looking more for a match of the sound of music one or more like this polyphonice spree one. Anyone? Please Help! Thanks.

here is that pic of the sound of music. thanks skyfein.

> Hello I was wondering what typeface this is based off of even though it is customized.

Not all lettering is based off of existing typefaces, Quite on the contrary. This is definitely not based on anything.

Jason Walcott sure knows how to handle curly stuff, so maybe check his Jukebox Type faces.

Tony Di Spigna who was a partner at Herb Lubalin does a lot of lettering in this style. I wonder if he worked on the original "Sound of Music" logo.
