hello folks
for my uncles winery (in the french part of Switzerland) i would like to digitize some old wine-labels (see attachment). does anyone have an idea what fonts were used � especially the one for �CR�T-DESSOUS� and �Epesses� as they been used for ages now. probably i'll have to redraw though. The font/s for the other elements are open to discussion, so suggestions are more then welcome.
Thank you all in advance
Yves
The "CR�T-DESSOUS" is handlettered.
"Epesses" looks handlettered as well.
Am I reading this right? Does it say
Familles Gay & Pestalozzi?
Double Trouble
what's wrong with Pestalozzi?
Nothing 
I actually know of a place called Pestalozzi as well. Nothing wrong with that.
Well, back to the original question.
I think the smaller text will be easier to ID from a larger scan if it is possible to get one.
From where I am viewing this it could look like the "Familles Gay & Pestalozzi" is handlettered as well though I cannot be entirely sure.
As for the "CR�T-DESSOUS" and the "Epesses" I am pretty sure you will have to redraw it yourself.
mksg
so i reckoned � as it (the CR�T-DESSOUS that is) is a funny kind of bastard, innit? as i mentioned, i'm free to change the font for the other elements, which i might do. any way thanks for the help!

hehehe
Yes all of that is clearly handlettered.
I suggest you might leaf through a few of
these pages. Maybe there is something suitable.

or take a look at Mike's Script Font Identification Guide
it is packed with examples.
great, now i know what to do during my lunch-break�
and thanks again.
