You could probably do something similar with Adobe Caslon Pro, but you'd have to hand italicise it and do all the flourishes and ligatures by hand in Adobe Illustrator. Not easy to do it well. I've used a font in the past called Dutch & Harley from dafont - nice but not that same as above.

Its custom logotype really. You're not going to get a font without having to seriously bastardise it. Be easier to start from scratch and draw it up

I love doing stuff like that. What you using it for? A logo?

That's just looks like a standard serif font that's been used as the base.

open illustrator, type words, find suitable font, convert to outlines, and then use the pen tools/pathfinder to add in the extra bits and edit, I doubt you'll find a font like it.

It looks similar to the logo used for the TV programme 'Cheers' - which may have been done in 'Cabaret'.

Will be how it's done. Wouldn't draw it from scratch, it'll be based on some well known typeface, convert to outlines and then get fun and crazy with the pen tool adding flourishes.

Edit slow to reply, +1 to much of the above.

Ask Tandem Jeremy - he should be able to help you out - he is very font aware.

Caslon doesn't look too far off in fact... not the Adobe version though.

ITC Caslon 224 Std Medium is the closest I can get.
