A client of mine is requesting *THIS* font... with no exceptions. So I'm desperately trying to figure out what it is, before I can decide if it's worth it to invest. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

It doesn't look like a font to me, it's not on a consistent line and the J is far too deep.
I think it's a signature.
Do you have any more of it?

I wish!! It would really help me in trying to identify it. :( Unfortunately I don't even know where my client got the sample. The full image is a business card. While it *could* be hand drawn in Illustrator, etc... I doubt it. I feel like I've seen the font before - one of those things that you know is RIGHT on the tip of your brain, but I can't for the life of me remember where from. My guess is, the J has been played with, but the rest is a font. For my project, I don't need an J anyway. :) I do, however need a very close match.

Did the business card belong to a certain Amelia?

Could be her own scanned handwriting?

Now you describe where it was used I'm 100% positive, it is NOT a font.
In 1992 I designed a series of business cards for a client, and used everyone's actual signature as part of the design.
I've also done a breakdown for you. As you can see it is inconsistent, and in my opinion it would be very difficult to make a actual font to conform to it's uniqueness.
The 'm' flows perfectly from the crossbar of A. This is very unusual, and an attention to detail rarely scene in typography. The r to e is also very suspect. Also the other letters if swapped around would not flow together.


These are the closest I could find.
