Font similar to Austin

Hi,

I'm looking for a font that is similar to Austin. For reference, I've attached a sample. I've contacted Commercial Type for licensing inquiries but in the meantime I'm looking for a close cousin. Any thoughts? Thank you!

There's some Bulmer & Baskerville in there...

Consider also Walburn. If it's the swashy italic you're after we'd have different suggestions.

But really, go with Commercial. No one will do better than Christian Schwartz.

Thanks for your suggestions! I'm just impatient and was looking around, but I couldn't find anything similar enough. I guess it is really unique! Haven't heard from Commercial yet but I'm sure they'll get back to me today - again, just really impatient. ;)
