Carole King's "Tapestry" album typeface
Longshot here, but a client would like to try and replicate the display font from Carole King’s landmark album http://images.barnesandnoble.com/images/9180000/9189509.jpg.
Doubtful that it’s actually a typeface, more like hand drawn piece of art. But, I have to ask...
Anybody out there know of a font that’s even remotely close?
Thanks in advance for any replies!

Here are your caps - but this digitization doesn’t have a lower case. I expect it is a font, but may not be digitized in the form you see it.

A search on myfonts.com for “nouveau” will turn up some similar fonts, many from Solotype.
Ah there ya go. I just found Ambrosia in my Art Nouveau fonts Dover book but I was beaten to the punch.

Wow. Simply “wow”. Thank you both! I would have spun my wheels for hours!

Has Carole King got six toes in that photo?
