  Hey everyone!
Lately I've been obsessed with brush-drawn script-y fonts. Unfortunately, Billabong is not free, but it's close to perfect.
Can you guys help me find free alternatives? I'm looking for Murray Hill-esque (Umm, Billabong is basically 80% Murray Hill... but that's neither here nor there) fonts, but bolder and more marker-y than that. Think Murray Hill + Reklame (also great, except lacking in punctuation). Does that make any sense? Oh, and the maximum price is $0.00, because I'm a starving student.

Billabong, which is not free

Reklame, which is only a demo for free
http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/murray-hill/
Murray Hill, which is a LITTLE too script-y.
Think of the image as my thank-you gift to you!!

The first impression is of course Murray Hill and if you want something that looks like this the Murray Hill or one of it 's many many clones will do.
The real thing here is the SignPainter HouseCasual by House Industries.

A quick 2 cents from my holidays:
The very original was called Murray Hill and seem to be designed by Emil Klump for ATF.

Hi,
I am looking for a font called "mahogany". I picked this font for my wedding invitations 8 years ago, and I love it, it is beautiful. I have found one close to it, Murray Hill, but the Mahogany font is more curly and fancy looking. Of course by "looking" I mean "looking for FREE"...haha. I did find it on a pay site, but I really don't want to pay $22 just to make my neighbors wedding programs with. Anyone know where it can be found for free?
Thank ya...thank ya very much...in advance!
Oh yeah...if I need to post a sample of it, I think I can do that, I'll have to figure it out, but I'll try to do that if necessary.

As I am a curious Kat I paid you guys a visit and had a look at the fonts you give away. Could not help to notice that the Fiolex Girls/Coronet thingie was not an exception. Here you go:
Artist = Impress
Atelier = FoxScript
Boys = Kids (Corel name)
Castle = Mister Earl
Compact = Badloc (Corel name = Bedrock)
Digital = LCD
Fineliner = Tekton
Fleur = Uechi Gothic, lower case replaced by Wedding Text
Gothic = Mariage
Handscript = Freehand 575 BT
Imperial = Engravers Roman
News = Antique Olive Nord/Inciced 901 Nd BT
Noblesse I can not trace (yet). The E and L look like being modified. Is the whole thing slanted?
OldScript = Flemish Script
Plant = Elzevier Caps wit Times New Roman for the lower case
Princess = Murray Hill ((Why that strange E? Half mirrored F, half mirrored L ... and that Z, why kill that beautiful Z?)
Roman Outline = Caslon Openface
Spotmarker = (based on) Pen Tip Bold
Yes. Some have some modifications. But it is indisputable where they come from ...
Must I also look at the new Mephisto? Somehow looks familiar ...
Oh, yes, few thingies on the site - English: past tense of send is sent.

Hmmm, easier than I thought it would be, Two Turtle Doves, 1997 Tom Murphy 7 - Free, but not to be resold! - ImightbeTM@aol.com - Tom Murphy 7 - 339 Still Hill Rd - Hamden CT 06518 - USA
The dumbo is not part of the font - alas (?).
Not here but should be on dafont.

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.]
