Somewhat similar to Zapf Chancery...

... but neither Zapf Chancery nor Augusta are really a match.
Does anyone have an idea?
Help much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Moritz

I don't think it's a match,
but take a look at Poetica Chancery

I think it's calligraphy rather than a font. Repeated letters are not identical.

@ fvilanakis
you're right, there are similarities, but I don't think it's a match either - 'k' and 'p' are quite different, others really close.

@ Bendy
that repeated letters don't look identical is probably due to the bad scan. It's the box of a cd, small print - quite difficult to examine.

In an accompanying pdf-file the title of composer and opera is repeated in the same font as used for the title on the box (see image attached). Pdf-text tool identified it as Bellezza Heavy and Swash, but I can only find Bellezza Regular, which looks quite different. http://www.fonts.com/findfonts/detail.htm?productid=786746

The rest of the text on the box seems to be set in a different font anyway.

Believe the pdf. Bellezza Heavy, where Condensed is used on the first sample, and Bellezza Swash, used on the second, were created by The Digital Quill Foundry. There are references in Luc Devroye's blog (http://luc.devroye.org/fonts-32525.html) but could not easily find samples in the wild.

thanks a lot! at least I know now what to search!
best, m.

Dick, may I bother you once again? Do you have an idea where I could purchase Digital Quill's Bellezza? I've searched in vain for the last couple of hours and no idea where to continue.

No, sorry. You might contact that webh site and see if they know.

Good idea, thank you!
