Hey there... can you help? Do you know the name of this font? Can you point me in the direction of any others that are similar? I've tried and came up with zip!! ~Twink

Awe nuts! I fell in love with it and was ever so hopeful....
Thank you for such a vivid explanation, I do appreciate it! ~Twink

I don't know if you've heard of Herman Zapf's Zapfino.
This is about the closest you'll get to digital calligraphy
this elaborate.


It is almost certainly not a font, but hand lettered. The o and v link together as a ligature in a unique way, and the e is clearly designed to only work at the end of a word, and the L is one that could only work at the beginning of a word.

It would be possible to do something like this in an OpenType font, but only a couple of OpenType script typefaces have been done that are so elaborate, and this isn't one of them.

Regards,
