Hi Florian!
I don’t know. I got this font in my University and some people don’t know it too. They call it “eldorado”.

Perhaps it is Dwiggins’ Eldorado?

formal non-connected script
Aka ‘italic’?
;°)

@ Alan:
I got this font in my University
As a digital font? Can you open it in a font management or editor application to view the copyright information?

> Aka ‘italic’?

May I point out that in my not-so-humble opinion this sample bears more resemblance to a formal script than to an italic (for example the typical x-shape). :^P

I could be wrong, but until this gets identified and confirmed, I stand by my description.

Tsss, smartass… ;^)

Haha!
I didn’t want to object to your description … What else is an italic than a certain ‘formal non-connected script’?
I just had a look at Dwiggins’ Eldorado which Dan mentioned, or rather the homonymous revival by Berlow, Frere-Jones & Rickner. Yes, its italic is quite different, but at least the italic (small) cap x has a cross-bar, too.

Hola, I am showing again caracters of the font that I got in my university. I am researching a lot but I don’t see some similar font.
Florian, this font isn’t a digital font. It’s a analogic typeface:

Dan Reynolds, I visited the site http://www.fontbureau.com/fonts/Eldorado/styles and saw the ’similar’ font, but it’s not equal.

Thank all you. I will consider — formal non-connected script, presumably called El Dorado. I go on researching and who found out other informations, I would like to know

:)
