Gentlemen,

Thanks for your continued participation. The sample was scanned from a fairly recent business card (and he uses the same logo in a flash header on the web) so I'm fairly sure this has got to be something relatively recent (at least in this incarnation).

My sample is no doubt suffering a bit from dot gain and general spread from cheap printing on crud stock, which would be having an effect on the serifs and hairlines. I don't own Beaumarchais, and don't want to buy it if it isn't the right face, so all I have to compare is the screen samples, but it seems crisper than mine, especially in the T, M, and N, and the R doesn't appear to dip below the baseline.

Inexact as it might be, I only need to use it in the logo, I think, so it's still looking like the best bet so far for tweaking in Illustrator. Ugh.

Peter
