 Hi, I'm a newbie here, but I've been dabbling in typography and font design on my own for a few years now. I have discovered a style of ornamental capital which I'm eager to find as a font. I'm not sure if it is really a font, though. It might just be fancy customised lettering.
I found these capitals in a book called "Angels: An Endangered Species". I was actually more impressed by these capitals than by the content of the book. I just stumbled on this site, and there seem to be more than a few folks here who really know their fonts :)
Okay, a little more detail on this: I've searched through the text, and these ornate caps are reserved for chapter openings (as they should be), so there are few of them. I was only able to spot these 4 letters (some are used more than once at various places).
Any ideas on this one? The engraved look of the detail makes me think that it's probably custom lettering, but with font design as intricate as it is these days, I figured even for a book that's been around since 1990, that there might be such a font. Oh, and one more thing: the typesetting of the text was done by someone in Florence, italy by the name of Simonetta Castelli. I know, it's a long shot, but I can't find anything but pages in Italian on her (hmm ... wonder why?? ;) Thanks in advance for helping!

I am looking for a font w/ people, preferably kids, making letters either w/ their whole bodies or like "YMCA." I swear I've seen that type of logo, but does it exist as a font? FYI, this is for a community coalition that serves kids.

Maybe you're right, maybe there is another one WITH the swashes,
but they are all too different on the letters to be part of an OTF font,
and in the meantime, it's obvious it is the right style of Old English
This time i tried the Becket

This is part of a font I already have called 'Steinberg Notation' which, other than these letters consists of musical symbols. Does anyone know whether these letters exist in a seperate font that contains all the letters of the alphabet in the same style. And if so, can someone help me ID it. Many Thanks

Greetings, font maniacs!
I wonder if there ANY font types which has some (or all) of the accented letters?
Such as: í,é,á,ö,ü,ű,ó,Á,?,?,Ű,? etc. tc.
If not, is there any way to make accented letters in an existing font type?
Please answer!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could refer me to where I might be able to find more information (historical, technical, etc.) about French Ronde style script type. I have been working on my own design, but I would like to know more about the style itself. Thanks in advance. ~Lauren

Thanks so much. I drew this typeface as an ode of sorts to French Script.
It is not actually based on any one particular style of type, font,nor even any specific reference material... I just drew it with the intent of making an upright, connected and elaborate (for me anyways!) style of script.
Even though this font is not traditional, I think the French script influence is obvious... so I did try to reasearch this style of type, but of the originating typefaces (Civilite as you pointed out) I can find about a sentence. And that sentence is usually on myfonts.com
I would love to learn more about it, I really would. I hope to find some actual/physical literture on the subject.
Thanks so much for your help. I hope people like this font.

Hello... My debut CD release is to be entitled 'Candyman's Cupboard' (in the studio recording now)...& the front cover design is to be the original 'Candy Cupboard' lettering on a white backdrop (original meaning the multicolored, patchwork style w/ the jagged edges...as opposed to later on, when they went w/ a solid red.) I need to find this lettering style, really bad. I realize fonts are black & white...but I thought I may run across some experts here that may know where this might be found. [Heck...if I could find an original boxtop...I would scan it in & fashion my own extra letters in Photoshop.] Thanks very much, mark4man
