Thank you

Looks like felt pen to me.

Desire..I've never seen it before. Going by the two "Z"'s and since they are close in appearance but NOT exactly the same, I'd say it is a hand lettered word.
If all you need is the word "Pizza" it would be easy to duplicate in vector format. If you need a whole lot of lettering to match it, I'd suggest just finding some script font that is close and use it.

Dave, actually the two "Z" are exactly the same, but since it's a photography the result is not perfect. I need the letters for the word "Fruit"!

OK Desire..In that case I'd vectorise the letters of Pizza.
Then I'd open up the round part of the "P" to form the two cross strokes of an "F"
Delete the dot on the "i" and flip it over to make an "r" (play around to put a bit of an upstroke on the leg of the "r")
Keep a duplicate of the "i" as it is.
Open the top of the "a" to turn it into a "u"
Extend the upstroke, including the cross stroke, on one of the "z"'s to make a "t"
Now you should have all the letters you need and they should look pretty close to the original.
Before everyone laughs..I bet that it would take less time to do that than search for an hour trying to find some oddball font! And in my limited experience, the customer would never know the difference.
edited to say that you could modify one of the font's Peter just posted too.
edited again to show what I mean...took a whole 5 minutes to do and is VERY VERY crude.. but I wanted to illustrate what I meant.

If not for the title on this thread, I would have thought it said "Pitta". It must be a cultural thing to put a cross on a Z.

Yes I think so! you could see several similar "z" in the US font foundry " Breaking the Norm" Posted by Desire Rusovsky (Member # 2876) on :
Thank you for your help!
actually there are other panels with differents text in my customers's restaurant. I will take a shoot of all of them monday. May be could I find all the needed fonts here.
I've just forgot a thing. It's actually "Fruits".

Desire,
I'm afraid you're hoping for too much. That isn't a font, but something you're going to have to draw.
You're going to have to use your photos to recreate the alphabet, actually only the letters that you'll need, and assemble one letter at a time.

It looks like one of those custom-made "fonts" based on someone's handwriting.
I would personally try to talk the customer into a different font. If they insist on that look, I would get out the sharpie marker, draw the letters on white paper, scan them, and trace them in illustrator. For the word Fruits it would take about 5 minutes for the entire process.
If the photographs are clear enough, you could trace the vectors from the photographs. Good luck. Posted by Stephen Deveau (Member # 1305) on :
