leslie cabarga was my first thought too. the second was fontdiner.

thanks, romesh

Make no mistake, it's the same type of script used on an old Swingline Stapler or Philco TV :D

This falls in a category I refer to as a Streamliner Scripts. Yes, Leslie has a nice one called Streamline which is similar, I have a few at the Diner, but I noticed the Sinatra script when the re-release of the Sinatra collection on CD came out a few years back.

I do intend at some point to develop a font inspired by this lettering example for the Diner, but I just haven't gotten to it and it's not planned into the next font set release.

To be honest, I would recommend starting with Dragonwick and recreate your own cap letter to get this effect.

Stuart :D

Hasn�t Doyald Young done a bit of work like this? I seem to recall a similar wordmark shown during his The Art of the Letter presentation at ATypI. Or maybe it was something I saw in his Fonts & Logos book.

He did a handlettered Elvis and a Harry Connick,
but he didn't have any Sinatra to show at
his recent AIGA presentation in LA.

If I remember correctly,
this also resembles the lettering from the
defunct Goldwaters department store chain.

Stuart, when are you going to have your next package. I have all but one. Looking forward to the next release. If you need an idea try a New York retro package

Thanks Daniel! I've got a little surprise up my sleeve in the coming weeks, then some more work on the next font set which will arrive prior to our new daughter's arrival in April :D

Stuart :D

Daughter? Congratulations, Stuart (and Ann)!

Congrats, Stuart, thanks for all the good news.

Thanks fellows! That being said, there's lots to get done before April :D

Yep, Jackson (No. 1) decided he wanted to participate in the Minneapolis Typecon meeting and my wifes water broke towards the end of the meeting, he was born at 12:50a the following day.

We expect No. 2 to arrive with the same typographic sensabilites.

:D
