Looks handwritten.

Indeed. But is it? That is the question.

Yes, I think so. (That’s what I meant to say.)
Look at the identical letters. They all look different.
Also, the letters don’t stand on a baseline, like in ‘Shaw’.

So this is no mere OpenType goodness?

I don’t think so.

Looks an awful lot like something from Crystal Kluge of Tart Workshop - http://www.tartworkshop.com

Indeed, it seems Nelly Script + Flourishes will get you about as close as you can to this lettering example. http://www.tartworkshop.com/nelly_flourish.html
