Bookman Swash

MyFonts used to sell ITC Bookman Swash, but now it doesn't list it anymore.
Here's a character map of the font... it has been customised a little for the 'Chelsea Girls' title.

We just talked about this the other day. The Franklin Type Founders version of ITC Bookman Swash & Bookman Swash Italic can still be found at Precision Type

Oh yeah that's right. *slaps forehead*

As was brought up in the recent thread, the ITC version is not the same as the version shown in Richard's sample, especially in the lowercase. The original Bookman Italic had a slanted roman lowercase, not the cursive italic of the ITC version. This is the biggest difference between the two. There are also a lot of other less obvious differences.

Also, it looks like there was some custom work done on it (the way the "h" hooks into the "l" and so on).

Hence my not mentioning ITC on the first post

Didn't I tell you this Flare type thing has become a big trend. Help us all

Sorry, Adriano, I wasn't sure what you meant when you then showed the ITC version.

For the benefit of anyone who would like to see the differences between the two:



It's too bad that the original has not made it to the digital realm. (Supposedly, Castcrafters did one, but it's apparently no longer available. Bitstream has a version, but no swashes and no Bold or Bold Italic.) It's not exactly fashionable, but it's an historically significant face.
