Thanks in advance !

I am stumped. I've looked through the Script Guide and about 4 books.

Are these all the letters you have? It would be nice to see some repeating letters, to make sure this is not hand-lettered.

unknown

I forgot you said 'Rubber Stamp' -- so this is the entire stamp? If so, I don't think we will be able to tell you much. It could have been made from hand lettering, and we'd never know. The fact that it doesn't match anything I can find anywhere, in my library (so far), makes me lean that way.

I'll keep looking for a while, and see if anyone else has any ideas.

I found it. It's called Bravo. I will scan the sample from Dan Solo's 'Bold Script Alphabets' book.

Here is the scan. I also was able to find it in Jaspert, and it was designed for Haas in 1945 by E. A Neukomm. Don't know if has been digitized.

Looks like Linotype owns the design now, but it has not apparently been digitized.

Rick Mueller digitized Bravo over a decade ago. Click on
The 2005 Update on the left here. Almost all of Mueller's
fonts were the first digital versions of old typefaces which
may be found in the Solotype Catalog.

I'm really impressed, and grateful to you. After only a few hours, I have now on my computer the font of my old "Pierre Christinat" rubber stamp.

I can say "Bravo" and thank you very much !

Now if only we could persuade Rick Mueller and his other designers to go Postscript...

Patricia - Rick Mueller digitized those fonts originally (like everyone
else back then) on and for the Mac. A few may be found here,
mainly in the Arty category.

Note, however, that the contact info in those ReadMes, as well as
the info on the TypOasis site, is no longer valid and all attempts by
myself and others to locate and contact the man for the last couple
of years have failed.
