Mellissa, which sadly has never been digitized.

This store used to be on 13th Ave in Brooklyn. Looks super familiar but i can't seem to find a match with the swashes. Thanks!!

If you're not sure what doesn't work, how could anyone assist you? 🤷‍♂️ You need to identify the problem, and share it. Then it would be possible to give advice. There are an abundance of beautiful typefaces out there, and Bembo is clearly one of them. I think Spectral would be a nice alternative to Bona Nova, if we were to stick to Google Fonts.

Yes, the question is vague. I suppose it would be best to stick to the Windows system font.

The request is a little vague. There are hundreds of typefaces that could work, but it’s not clear what the goal of the font choice would be. You would need to define what you want visually or what the technical requirements are (number of styles, character set, licensing ­…). Have you looked through all the Windows system fonts? There are probably good choices there already which would play nicely with Microsoft apps and come with a sufficiently large character set.

We use Bona Nova font for this magazine designed in MS Publisher (as it is a free publication). When printed, there is something about it that doesn't like right. Not sure what it is. Is there a similar paid font that you recommend? Do you think bembo would be good in this situation?

'CHANGING MISSION' looks like Teko (Bold 700). 'Episcopalians' indeed seems to be Minion (Minion Pro Bold Italic). 'LEE LITTLE' looks more like Faustina (Regular 400).

Maybe Countach and Minion and Landa, but I'm not sure. From the cover of the book Changing Mission: Unchanging Faith by Lee Little published here. Thank you in advance typophiles.

It was designed by Geoffrey Lorenzen, but his website (www.omaticdesign.com) is no longer live and the typeface is “no longer available,” per the PDF attached. GLorenzen.pdf

THANK YOU!!!

I found it as "Spoing", can't find any license information.

Hey there, can anyone help me identify the font that says Playas Gon Play? It’s been a struggle to find it. Thanks in advance!

Looks like Mozart Script.

Try searching for 'Copperplate Scripts'. Some that are similar: Novia, Gravura, Cynthia June JF

Thanks you David. We did look at Auteur but the majority of the letterforms just seem way off. Many thanks for looking.

Thanks Miss Nobody! Pretty good!

Snell Roundhand is a classic, beautiful script typeface in this tradition. Shelley (Volante) by Matthew Carter is another.

Hello! I have been looking for this font from a bridal shower invitation or something close to it. Any recommendations to a fancy script font would be appreciated! Thank you.

A font actually based on Cocteau's handwriting is Auteur, available from Font Bros. Includes some of his distinctive stars.

The closest I can find is Kasdio.

Hi All, Can anyone recommend a handwriting typeface that's a close match to this example of Jean Cocteau's handwriting/Signature? Many thanks!

Maybe you can try Merchant Copy?

That’s not a regular outline font, but the internal dot matrix grid from a labelling machine. It might not be available outside of the specific machine.
