#1 Posted by chumak on 2003-06-24 01:16:01 | quote |
Hi!
Can anybody help me identify the following handwritten fonts?
There are 5 paragraphs with different fonts. I'm interested in 1-2-3-5.
Fonts are HERE!

Thank you very much!!

Yoinks, fella, you've got a tough one there. I could only successfully identify the third one, which - to be fair - I have myself. It's called Bradley Hand ITC.

I'm sorry I couldn't be more help, but I'll keep my eye out.

Headhangingly,

I've been looking for that one myself for sometime, and I tried Bradley Hand and it's not the same. Take a look at the lower case letters, especially the G and there is quite a bit of diffrence.

You're absolutely right, I apologize. In that case I'm stumped, but I just feel like I should know what it is. And that second one looks really familiar, too...

Appallingly,

I think I can help a bit, I hope.

I don't know what the first font is, and it feels like I should know it. If you ever find out or find a copy, I'd love it. Lowercase letters look a little like
Marydale, but not very much, and caps are completely different.

The second font is probably one of the thousands of vanity handwriting fonts out there. It's going to be very difficult to identify it, if you want an exact match. However[/i:bc7f43626b] , if you're just looking for the same kind of thing, you'll be fine with most vanity fonts based on women's handwriting; I've seen lots of similar-looking fonts, and have DLed a few, but I've forgotten where they came from. You should be able to check around in pretty much any archive, especially the lower-quality ones.

The third font looks pretty similar to TCL Escuelera, except Escuelera has a lot of noise -- all those speckles around the letters -- and whatever version was used in your page has been cleaned up (if it was Escuelera to begin with, and the more I look the less sure I am). It could also be a weird obliqued (or possibly a genuinely italicised) version of Angelina. Another not-quite-right but close font is Dear Joe. I ran a sight-search, which came up with these possible fonts. They don't seem to be right, though, and half of them aren't available anyway; you may wish to run your own search, but I wouldn't count on it turning much up.

The fourth font I haven't seen before, but I don't think you wanted to know about it anyway. Do you know what it is?

The fifth font is a puzzler. There are a couple of commercial handwriting fonts that look very similar, but certainly aren't a family -- most of them come with certain packages of MSWord 2000+, and include fonts such as Murray and Pinafore. They're just generally a pain to identify. Here's the sight-search list; much good may it do you.

Good luck with all of these. You certainly know how to pick tough ones!

[edited:[/b:bc7f43626b] Because of fonts.com's frames, the sight-searches' links aren't correct. It'll only link you to the beginning of the process, and it's really not worth redoing. There wasn't anything too similar or useful.]

Wow!..I thought it was just me finding it difficult to identify these fonts!...Too bad we can't name them for that they're really nice for specific projects I had in my mind.
Nevertheless, where can these "female-style-writting" fonts be found? I liked the ones in the link but perhaps if I could see other types, that'd help in the meantime..
Thank you very much for your help and interest! This forum is always great!

Hi, does anyone know where I can download (for free) the Bradley Hand fonts? Or, do you know of a similar style of font to this Bradley Hand where I can download for free? Many thanks.

Wow... thanks so much for this. Do you also have the BOLD and ITALIC versions of this font as well? Or I can just use the Bold and Italic buttons to change the font type in Word? Thanks a bunch again... :)

The bold version BradleyHandITC-Bold.ttf - is on the same site. No Italic or Obligue. But then that's not very usual for a hand.

Have fun and ... be nice to the cats

ID-ing a handwritten font is most times just luck. Or in Viking, memory and the eye. Luck stroke: I think I found #5. Might well be the NevisionCasualScript: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/nevison-casual/d/testdrive.html?s=.+Tengo+un+Piunch+para+.&p=48

Maybe one day or another someone will stumble upon the others.

Have fun and ... be nice to the cats

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!
It's amazing! How do you do it? Tracking down & identifying fonts is SOMETHING really difficult.
Keep this talent!
(Unfortunately I haven't been able yet to identify the rest...but at this rate..;)
