What font is this?

I picked this font after posting this question (I really did need something similar enough to Mirella Script that it could essentially pass for a different weight of the same font. I didn't want to use Mirella Script itself because (if you try it, you'll see), it's a mess with that particular word).

I did a dry run of my project and now I'm ready to go...but...I didn't save. Now I don't know what font that was. I'm pretty sure I would have found it on fontspring. I'm especially interested in this font because of the style of the lower-case R and E. These are the only two letters repeated from the Mirella Script "headline" so they should be in the same style.

Picture is on a curved surface. Sorry.

Please do not quote the content of the font example here.

I'm not familiar with enough script fonts to identify it off the bat, but there's a few avenues I'd suggest for trying to figure it out.

You say you forgot to save your work for the dry-run project, but assuming you're still working on the same computer, you likely have the font installed locally still. You might be able to look through the available fonts on your computer to narrow down the possibilities and find it that way.

I'm assuming that the images you posted are photos of a finished product you created as part of the dry run. If that's the case, do you remember if you used any advanced font features like discretionary ligatures or character alternates? The uppercase "T" is pretty distinctive, so if you didn't make any of those kinds of adjustments, you might be able to just put the word into the preview box on a few font sites and look for "copperplate" fonts and see if anything looks right.

Best answer: I think I found it browsing through FontSpring: Dulcinea looks like it's the one!

Response by poster: That's the one! I recognized the name as soon as you posted it. And yes, I used the "swash" option. Thanks!
