I'm looking for this swash fonts of these vintage books from A Golden Books. So far closest I could find was "Carling Town" from Red Rooster Collection. http://roosterfonts.com/fonts/carlingtown/ But clearly it is different. The one I'm looking for is more rounded and kids friendly. If anyone has any idea, please help!! Thanks!!!!

Puss in Boots -- hand-lettering. Extremely well done by a very skilled letterer, but the character differences are noticeable.

Little Red Riding Hood -- Same thing.

Ignacio has the closest with "Shag Exotica", plus my expert version of the font has a multitude of alternative flourishes and swashes.
