I had a request for ID of a sample a few minutes ago. Most of the lettering is a font I know as Dragonwick/Dragonwyck, but the Q is something else. I know I have seen it somewhere, and I will probably smack my forehead when I hear the answer, but can you folks help me out with it?Mystery Q

No one has seen this Q before? I'm surprised! Please look again, in case you might have an idea.

Thanks

I thing that's a "p" on drugs.

Maybe you were thinking of the Bergell "Q"? http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/bergell/

That Q is from ITC Airstream, which coincidently I first noticed on Milky Way Bars (obviously not the logotype) a few years ago. It does have that caramely look to it :-)

I second that Yves! I knew I had seen it before. Good job James. Thanks!

No problem. Just to make you want one (they're delicious), here's the milky way wrapper with the caramely airstream. I have the writing on the side, too but I can't find that picture.
