This looks to me like the work of either Philip Bouwsma or Arthur Baker. I am looking for it in my Script Guide.

My own recommendations would be two of Bouwsma's calligraphic faces: Mantegna Italic and Polenta (formerly Donatello) Black Italic.

These were the closest I saw in running through the Calligraphic scripts in Part 4 of the Script Font ID Guide. Polenta has a lighter weight too.

Say, isn't that apostrophe the Dove logo?

To all:

Thanks for the help and the new resources to look at for identifying font faces, I thought I had seen most of them, but I'm not even close!

I will take your suggestions and see which flies with the powers that be, and speaking of flying, the dove does look an awful lot like the Dove logo... I never noticed it before.

Philip Bouwsma does good work, I like most of his typefaces.

Thanks again
