Font from School Diploma

amycnd


I am a designer for a school. In the past, we've always ordered enough diplomas for 10 years and it's time for a reorder. However the printer is no longer in business and the artwork is nowhere to be found. I'm trying to identify a font used on the diploma and am having no luck. Anyone able to help me?
Thanks!

That’s a shaded version of Linotext aka Wedding Text. Not sure if there’s a digital version.

The very subtle variations are there... this is probably a metal/die cut of original art!

Michael is right, compare the shading in repeating letters. I should have been more precise: if you want to recreate something similar with fonts, start with those mentioned above.
