Does anyone have any idea what font this is?

I couldn't believe it when I couldn't find it already on my computer as it looks like a basic one.... I've had a hunt but just haven't hit on it yet.

Any help gratefully received....but I'm taking NO responsibility for anyone downloading fonts whilst looking....it's bad enough being responsible for myself!!!:D

Bayla you might want to check out this site

I've never used it so can't tell you how good it is. You put your scanned font in and they find the closest match.


Can't help you with your font. Sorry. You would be amazed at how many hand writing fonts there are out there. I was just looking at fonts yesterday and you could spend an entire day looking.

This one is more reliable (especially for handwritten type fonts), but you have to answer a lot of questions. It is easy, though, and works better if you have upper case letters as well.

Good luck, and let us know if you find it!

It looks an awful lot like a font I have called Engaged. I don't remember where I got it and since I'm at work now I can't check. I'll look when I get home this evening and let you know.

Pauline, Hukari, Nancy,

Thank you for your replies.

I found it! It was on www.dafont.com (http://www.dafont.com) and is called Cygnet Round. Thank goodness I found it fairly quickly....so it didn't cost me much in time, money or space on my hard drive:D
