Absinthe Challenge

Hi there,

Anyone know if this is indeed a typeface or handcrafted? Looking for similar or alternatives for the wonderful Absinthe headline.

Thanks you in advance!

Cheers,
Jason

It's an amalgam: the A is based on a nineteenth-century typeface called Columbian. P22's version is here...

The balance of the letters are in a Latinesque face, many of which are available.

Also, from the Solopedia:

"Glorietta (Solotype), Many others, including P22 Victorian Swash, Trinigan FG (Fontgrube), Goodfellow (Scriptorium), Bluegum Forest (Tris Nguyen, corrected by MEG). Originally Columbian."

Neat label.

Thanks for the help, nice recommendations! :)
