(x) "A Summer Wonderland" beautiful scripty-serif - hand lettered {Robert Koritnik}
Hi everyone!
This was on a flyer for a local fashion show. I don’t know who designed it or I would of just emailed him/her. Take a look:
Any idea what this was before the customizations? It’s so pretty.

Looks like Caslon No337 to me.
[edit: On closer inspection it’s only kind of close. Sorry it’s early here.]

I’m not even going to try guessing the font of this but considering the fact there are so many differences and customizations here and roughness on the curves (look at non smooth curve of the “S”) it looks a lot like this has been drawn on paper and later scanned, vectorised and adjusted.
At least the bigger “R” reminds me very much of Caslon Swash. But heavily customized.
There’s also resemblance with Slimbach’s Minion Swash capitals...

Handlettered beyond a shadow of a doubt.

I agree with Patty. I think some of the fonts mentioned may have ’inspired’ the artist, but I don’t think this is a font.

Because you’re the person that said ”(...) it looks a lot like this has been drawn on paper and later scanned, vectorised and adjusted.” We always credit the identifications.
