We have had this question before, but the Google links don't seem to get the right old pages. Anyway, the answer at that time was that Chanel was custom, so if you found something close, that's probably the best any of us could do.

i just had a wonderful experience dealing with the local font shop person: totally willing to help out, research, and provide interesting historical anecdotes to the same question i posted here.

if there is a useful way to search old strings, or topics on this post, please feel free to email me about it. im new to this site.

thanks.
