Help with a script font.
Help with a script font.
All I have is a poorly traced outline of these words. I have scrolled through script fonts until my eyes are spinning, and none of the automatic identifiers give a result when given just the two capitals.

Re: Help with a script font.
I too couldn't find matching things.
Luckily you told us it was traced as duplicate letters which are different tend to indicate a hand written sample. And of course, it depends on how accurate your trace was to begin with whether matches could be found
The loop base of the B is rare and the lack of more complex loops on the E are rare. Together they are non-existent (in my files).
I found many matches on the "and", so nothing unique there.
The somewhat "broken" tail on /g is peculiar and could not be found.
The low leading connection on the /v wasn't found.
The lack of a loop in the /l was a feature.
The /p design is infrequently used and should help but doesn't.
So I have 4 samples of what I did find -- perhaps, but not likely, one is close enough:

Thanks for the time and effort!
Re: Help with a script font.
Script fonts seem to be particularly resistant to identification by automatic means. Although the attached sample has several distinctive features such as the shape of the capital 'S', the large loops on the ascenders (which, unlike this example, tend to be combined with a small x-height) and the low joining strokes between one letter and the next, I've drawn a blank so far.

Re: Help with a script font.
It's best if new questions are posed in new posts.
It looks like Argel, Billy/Blessed Day with the minor adjustments.

Re: Help with a script font.
That does indeed look very similar, thanks.
I didn't think it unreasonable to bump a recent thread on the same topic, but I'll start a new one should the need arise again!
