I am looking for the font on this vintage button!

I just found this button in my grandmother's collection. I like both fonts, and I was wondering if anyone could help me identify XOXO!!!

Without a larger, sharper image, hard to be absolutely sure. It would also help to know an approximate date for the button (during what years was your grandmother a teenager?).

 

THIS | IS FOR | ROMEO could be heavier weight of Futura or Twentieth Century. A comparison here .

Juliet looks like one the of Bluemlein Script faces (hand lettering styles from the 1930s and 1940s that were digitized as typefaces this century).

 

DrCarbfred, MissPackgope, and MrSopkin are similar—from what little I can make out on your sample, I'm guessing MissPackgope would be closest.

This is perfect thank you! She graduated late 60s early 70s! I was wondering if there are any fonts that speak to you or that you think would have been used at the time for campaign buttons or what not but I get that it is a nebulous questions so no pressure!
