Old Fashioned "The"

sshuman

This is a throw back to hand-lettered signage, but I know that you can get these with font packages nowadays. Anyone have any ideas what this might be from?

I know for a fact it's not this typeface, but Bello, by underware, has a wonderful brush font that includes a special 'words' set, and this is what this reminded me of so you might also be interested in Bello:

Bello Words @ underware.nl

That's really close to the direction I'm looking for. Do you (or anyone else) know if there is a type term used for these kind of "word" sets? I know I've heard of it, but it's escaping my mind right now.

Thanks for your help!

You may also want to have a look at Metroscript. As far as I know, they are just called "words" or "word logos".

That's it! Thank you so much for all your help. Everyone's expertise and knowledge here in these forums is so valuable. Thanks.
