For my current project, I am required to find real world examples of my chosen typeface (Emigre’s Dalliance).

Does anyone know of any designs or anything that use Dalliance?

I hope Dalliance Script counts.

The LunaBrand logo is set in the script and the Love Made Visible blog uses it for their headlines. See also this sunflower oil.

Hi Brad,

sometimes Flickr is a good place to find examples of fonts in use. For Dalliance, check out these photos by dotsara and Robot Johnny: [1], [2], [3].

See Dalliance Script here, used for the author’s name.

& the book is a very nice 4-hour read if long canoe trips are your thing.

Another book cover: Colorful Stitchery. (Dalliance is also used throughout the interior for project titles.)

logo I designed (with customized K):

http://www.mayakaimal.com/index.html

It is frequently used for books by Indian and other Asian writers (as evidenced in the links above), which is frustrating to me because it makes my logo above look like a bit of a cliche. I designed that logo when the font was really new, though, and not overused for Asian themes like it is now. I remember it also from a book I read awhile back about growing up in Afghanistan but I can’t remember the title.

I also used it for the title of this book:

http://www.powerhousebooks.com/books!/PleasurePalaces/

and made extensive use of the ornaments inside.
