It'll be tough to find anything as great as that script. Despite the 'A', Robotik comes close on the slab.

Bello
Frontline
Some suggestions for the script none of them as satisfying as the original, although if Frontline had a lowercase that might work with a bit of work.

'Saboteur' almost looks like a 'handbrushpainted' version of 'Futura Script'..

cyndy, how are you going to use the typefaces? If its one word for the script, I'd fire up Corel Painter and use one of the suggested scripts as a template and paint the letters using either an oils brush or an impasso brush. Just a thought

has the brush look but I don't know if there's a lower case.

The letters aren't connected, but the closest I can come to that script is Kevin Willis' Brushstroke.

Cyndy,
This might be a good opportunity to sell some hand lettering to your client. The sample you show is hand lettering, and it's old, too. There are some brush lettering artists who might do something similar or even mimic the style faithfully, but you will not get the same wiggly feeling from type. Look up Jill Bell, John Downer, Michael Clark, Carl Rohrs, and other brush letterers. Support lettering artists! There are effects you can't get with type.
