I was recommended this site by a colleague.

I am looking for this font... and as much wonder if this is an old hand drawn font.

If anyone has any ideas... please let me know.

Thanks!

Ok... So can I upload Pictures off my computer? Or just of the web? Like a Photobucket thing?

Hiya Angela and welcome!
To upload directly to here, you have to become a resident and pay taxes.
However, you can link to photographs or even embed pictures from other accounts. This is one that's on my website...
 -

Just use the Instant UBB Code to place the image or link.
If you need more assistance, maybe Barb or someone else can help ya.

Havin' fun,

Checkers

Hi, Angela! Welcome to Letterville... it's a good place but we're only about 5 miles up from Crazytown.

As far as posting pics, if you were able to post a pic on your first post here, you would be revered as a demi-goddess among many of the long-time posters who haven't figured it out yet....

It sounds like your on the right track tho.. the pictures must be hosted somewhere on the web (like Photobucket for example), and you can post the [IMG] link here to make it show up.

If you click the "Full Reply" button, it also has an "Image" button that will provide a window to enter the URL (link) to the picture. All you have to do then is post the address to the picture, and it automatically adds the [IMG] tags.

Good luck.

Thanks everyone!

I think I've figured this out...

I posted a shot of it here... http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr164/angela_brown78/dad3_Small.jpg

And another here... http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr164/angela_brown78/dad6_Large.jpg

Please let me know if you can help me out.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for posting them straight on, I really appreciate it!

If anyone has any ideas... I'd greatly appreciate it.

I found a Sign Lab font that's close... but not quite it. I'll look it up tomorrow. Starts with an A.

Thanks again!

You might want to look at some books on calligraphy also, Angela.

Angela,
Luckily you have a sample with several repeat letters.
If you look closely at the "e"s, you will notice a good deal of difference between them.
If this is an actual FONT, I would be extremely surprised.
The inconsistencies of the strokes leads me to believe that this is a hand drawn calligraphic letter.

With that said, is it absolutely necessary to copy that letterstyle, or are you just looking for something similar?

Book Antiqua, Calisto MT, Cataneo, Monotype Corsiva, Adobe Jenson Pro Italic, Mesouran Serif Italic, and Zapf Chancery Medium Italic are all decent (or semi-decent) "calligraphic" fonts.

If the following link works: http://tinyurl.com/62dn43 , it will take you to www.identifont.com where I did a search according to certain criteria. There are a few choices of fonts.
I like the PoeticaIII.
