My boss tells me this is papyrus....or not...

My boss told me this logo was done in papyrus font (I know, it’s frowned upon in design circles--I didn’t come up with it!) Based on the long tail of the L and the R/A and R/Y connecting, it’s definitely not standard papyrus. I’ve put it into multiple font identifying pages and there are a few close ones, but none of them are a match. Any help would be absolutely wonderful and help me from pulling out any more hair :)

Your boss is almost certainly right.

Judging by the |A|, it is Papyrus EF, (which is subtly different from ITC/Linotype Papyrus). It even has the long |L| and |R| alternates.

By the way, is that the best image you have? Or it is somewhat “optimised” for automated font recognition? If the latter, next time a plain image would be better for human font recogniotion
