I’ve been searching. A few Scriptorium fonts are close, but no cigar.

This is most likely hand drawn. Notice that each letter is unique.

And just clarity’s sake, isn’t this Art Nouveau, rather than Art Deco?

LHF Victoria has a similar feel, although the details are wildly different:

P22’s Salon Full also has a similar feel.

I also think this owe’s something to the type that Dave Nalle’s ’Abaddon’ was modeled after, which was drawn by Alex Jay as an Art Nouveau-like face for a book about Dinosaurs by William Stout in 1981. Jay says his lettering was inspired by the work of Alphonse Mucha, one of the greats of the Art Nouveau movement.

Thanks all, yes I meant to say art nouveau — I’d been searching fonts for so long my keywords were keywording themselves.

Abaddon was my jumping off point when I was searching for something similar. Looks like it’ll be a calligraphy project and not an Adobe Illustrator one.
