Any help on this one is appreciated. It is off of a 20+ year old form and the client wants it to be exactly the same.

It's what it is, just beaten down by years of copying : )

Send it thru a copy machine 20 times and it should be just right.

An old photocopy version of Zapf Chancery?

Chancery is much different.

It looks like the x-height is a little bigger than the digital version of Medici Script. Did ITC ever do a cut?

Thanks,

The P is sort of alien, probably redrawn or messed with as the flourish is a bit too long. It is not Firenze (not enough axis and the font was for Hallmark's use only). It is Medici, Mergenthaler Linotype, 1971.
