I’m looking for this font, or a very similar:

Anyone does know it?
Thanks!

If you look at the bottom of your text edit box, you can see a button “Insert image”, which does exactly what you would think it does — no need for an external link.

Additionally, the “Type ID Board” has the following helpful line “Need to know what font it is? Post it here.”

Read the FAQ about sports logos (and thread titles).

Hi Mandelbort,
welcome to Typophile.

Here’s a list of script typefaces. I’m not saying that they are particularly similar to your sample, because that heavily depends on whether you want to emulate the overall appearance, whether you’re looking for the same writing tool or for certain letterforms. Scripts are quite unique.

Brush Script is an old fart. Mark Simonson’s Kinescope is a lot nicer. So is Tomas Brousil’s Bistro Script. La Salle.

There’s Las Vegas Fabulous by House Industries. Their Sable wil be released soon.
Letterheadfonts have several script fonts, American style, too: Ball Park, Marie, Cosmic Cursive. And FontBros offer Metroscript, Parsley Script and Coffee Service, among others.
Two more essential addresses for nice retro and not-so-retro script fonts: Sudtipos and Fontdiner.

I love some of the Letterhead Fonts scripts, such as their new Indian Script.

Oh, thanks for the comments and the suggestions, i’ve changed the title of the post.
Anyway the closer font seems to be the BistroScript
