Hello people!

I watched the film "Hairspray" and that script font called me the attention. See this script font of 60s:

1) Pay attention in that old blue box "eange spray":

2) Pay attention to that orange box "ny Collins":

Thank you!

Hey, see too:

3) See the old blue box "Miss Teenage Hairspray":

On your first image:

Maybe IE can open it, but who is so insane to use IE?

Can't find an exact match - that could take hours if it is digitized at all - but NovelFonts! once had the Jacquard which is reasonably close.

Maybe the Honey Script is also close enough?

The original font as used on your picts is a Filmotype font named Jackson from the times of photosetting.

Hello Cat!

I analysed the three fonts : Filmotype Honey (Filmotype Jackson doesn't exist), Honey Script and Jacquard:

1) Filmotype Honey: 90% closed because the letters M, T and g aren't closed.

2) Honey Script: 98% closed but the the syllabe 'pray' isn't closed, but with kerning, it's almost closed.

3) Jacquard: 98% closed but the syllabes "iss" and "pray" aren't closed, when with kerning, are almost a bit closed.

Then they're Honey Script and Jacquard. They're my favourite fonts. I like them. Thank you, Cat! :-)

Let's twist again! (lol)

Filmotype Jackson does exist but only for photosetting, a typesetting technique not used anymore. That was the one you see on the images.

The closest one available in digital format (what they call a font nowadays) is NovelFonts! Jacquard.

Honey Script is a variation on the OPTIJackson which is (was, not available anymore) a backslanted variation on the Filmotype Jackson.

I know that the Jacquard is not an exact match, I said so before. Look at the r and s. But the g and y are much closer than the OPTIJackson and the Honey Script.

None have a matching T.

See, there is more to IDing a font than just mentioning a font-name.
