Novak Spring by Rian Hughes has a similar flowery-theme.

The one in the YouTube video is Flores:

Thanks guys.
Riccardo – nice one! I should have checked Dafont.

BTW, if anyone knows of a predigital "original" version I'd love to learn about that too.

Well, I cannot help you locating the pre-digital version, but I can confirm it exists:

O! Nice. That sign looks like it might match my first sample, it doesn't have the divergences that are in the digital. Thanks, in any case.

That looks like the Youtube version shown in the post. I just wrote to Harold to tell him about the thread. I think he'll be interested to see a couple more of the original letters.

[edit: uhh, Riccardo already said that about the Youtube font. Sorry]

Ah, what? I *did* look at DaFont, but only in 'Groooovy'. Should have checked 'Decorative' as well, I guess, but thought Groovy would have had it covered. I mean, if the flowery Chick is filed under Groovy, why not Flores as well? Who's in charge over there? :)

That's one reason why I tend to avoid Dafont, I never find anything anyway. :)

Mike: Thank you! It would be very nice to see Harold drop by.

altaira--your wish is granted. it was so cool to see Flores in the news video. if you sort of squint you can read it in the type menu after you know what it says. if someone ever found more original source letters, i'd love to make it more authentic. cbs sunday morning news used to use display font headlines on a board for upcoming stories. i sent them a CD just for fun, perhaps someone there actually loaded it and used it.

Harold, hi! Thanks for dropping in.
I'm curious, what do you make of that first sample I posted above – would you think it's the same "font" (if it ever was a font)? And what do you think about the glyphs that differ from your version, like the "C" and "H"?

I just had an e-mail from Harold (and apparently Nina did too) along with a copy of the updated Flores. He wrote "i was so jazzed about getting more source letters for Flores, that i worked them into the font in the lowercase positions and tweaked a couple other things.

attaching it for you now and i sent it to the original poster."

I will make a sample, unless Nina would like to, showing the glyphs of the revised font.

Wow, nice work everyone! Look forward to seeing this.

Great stuff. Please go ahead if you like Mike, I've got a ton of other work on my plate right now but am quite "jazzed" about this too!

Here is a sample showing the new Flores. I tried to sort of reproduce the coloring of the original sample. Thanks to Harold Lohner for the font, and to Nina for starting this ball rolling. Notice that the lower case has some alternate glyphs, based on the sample Nina posted.

More entertaining that the recreation of a lost renaissance font! :-)
The only thing missing is a glyph (asterisk?) reproducing a lone flower, like the blue one in Altaira's sample.

So where and when can the rest of this get the updated font?

Since Harold had Flores as a free download on his site, I would think if you asked he might give you the new update to it. Since I made the sample he has even corrected the lower case Q, and sent me a new version. There is an e-mail link on his site, if the font download is still the old version.

Nina, you might like Orgovan Flower Power.

Dude! That's a fun little family. Thanks.

Just for the record, Harold has updated Flores (now Flores MMX :-):

Thanks for the heads-up, Riccard0!
