This is from an old flyer - would love some insight on the provenance / foundry / typeface or designer. Thanks!

sorry, upload issues. Thanks for your interest!

Do we think this was hand-drawn?

[Ralf Herrmann]

It’s fonts. 

Ferrara is a version of Columbus.

sorry, not 'ferrara' - i'm curious about the PASTIFICIO type

[Ralf Herrmann]

Okay, this was time-consuming as there was no reasonable way to narrow down the search. 

But I could identify it as Moderne Versalien by Bauer. 

A digital version is Sveva. https://www.myfonts.com/de/collections/sveva-as-versal-font-astype/?tab=glyphs

Don’t get confused by the glyph variations. All the letters are there.

Very impressive! Thank you!
