I'm assuming someone fiddled with it a bit after it was converted from a font to art-vectors. All the curve points are in the same place in both 'e's, but it appears that someone moved some of the control handles a bit on one or both of them.

Really, anything close would be great. I've seen something much like this somewhere, I keep remembering a poster or ad or something that was very popular that had it but can't quite place what it was. It's too cool, very "old French something". Really like the feel of it.

Here's to continued hope…

I will give these all a look. Thank you for your suggestions and I very much appreciate your time.
