This looks like it could be Oxtail OT Bold--probably physically skewed to give the italicized appearance.

Thanks but no. Oxtail doesn't have those connectors between the letters. And the letters are quite different too.

Other suggestions, anyone?

Answering my own request: The back slanted italics is Lily.

Good find!

…although a rather bizarre treatment of the tail on the /r/…

The sans serif font looks like Brown.
