is the face in question.

Hey guys, sorry to pester n all..I'd really appreciate some help though..

I'm still trying to findout the font used for 'Come In' in the postcard image below.

come in

It's a near certainty that it's handlettering.

"Come in We're Open" and "Sorry We're Closed" signs exactly like this have been sold at hardware stores for as long as I can remember. I'd say the designer scanned and combined them for this hybrid version.

You might find a font with a similar style to the script, but I doubt very much you will find an exact match.

thanks mark

yeah, mr.burrill simply switched the type from the signs to create the postcards :-)

many thanks

Sign DNA and Signfonts are two other sources of similar script fonts.

Have a look at Sarah Script, Scriptana or Stanford Script
at Letterhead Fonts, as well as House Industries'
Sign Painter Font Collection. Hope this helps.
