Whats this type?

It looks like handlettered calligraphy. The only duplicated letter is the "I", but the top serifs don't appear identical. I know that's not much to go on, but that's my guess.

Can anyone suggest something that looks similar? Thank you

It could well be custom, but there is a bit more than this�here's an example duchy furniture

Duchy Originals is one of the UK�s leading brands of organic food and drink. When the Prince of Wales created Duchy Originals in 1990 it was because of his belief in the clear advantages of organic farming: the production of natural and healthy foods and sound husbandry which helps to regenerate and protect the countryside.



I'd check the packaging because I normally have a pack of these sausages in the fridge, but I think we had them with some horseradish mash and balsamic onion gravy on Wednesday evening.

There is a Photo-Lettering type called Edridge Bookhand that looks a lot like this. It's in the 1960 Photo-Lettering Alphabet Thesaurus (Vol 1). The problem is that the sample is too brief to see many letters. It seems that the possibility of film type being used must be a possibility too.

You asked if anything we know is close to it, and I would say Lydian/Lisbon, but that has no serifs. I guess you could add some if the need was sufficient.

Barbedor is in the same vein.
