Looking for legal purchase OPTI-Carmella Hand Script

amd3202

Long story short, I have no real knowledge of fonts. I have a client that sent over some designs and uses OPTI Carmella Hand Script

search online + chatting with a few in the design industry + reading some posts here basically resulted in finding out that OPTI just stole some fonts, and repackaged them.

However... More research showed that OPTI ripped off Julia Script, but when i go to the sites that sell Julia (only one version came up), it looks nothing like the OPTI version (please take that last line in context... i know nothign about fonts--to me as a layperson it doesn't look like the same font, and my client will not like it).

So i'm hoping someone here can provide a little guidance. I'm trying to do right, and would appreciate any guidance provided.

OPTI have a Carmella Script that looks like Carpenter. Is this the one you mean?

Wow, that looks VERY much like it, i have only seen a few words written in the Carmella (i'd hate to have to read a long document in that font) but it's great and i tried it out and the two words appear the same. thanks!
