I've been trying to figure out what font this is and where to get it for about a YEAR now. <http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v74/144/17/53504112/n53504112_30558525_7135.jpg> (the "fresh" part of "GRILLING fresh") Amusingly, it is the font used in the logo of the dance company I am in...called "FR3SH".

Any chance of a sample that is not at such an angle?

hmm yeah, here's the logo itself on the top of the site- its slightly distorted though since I couldn't find the actual font and needed to resize www.fr3shonline.com

It appears that someone made the bold a bit bolder. Bill

Hannah, It is not a particularly well-crafted script, and there is precious little to work with. Neil

Regardless, it would be incredibly useful to have this font.

Looks like Snell Roundhand to me.

Ram�n, It does indeed look like Snell Roundhand... But compared to the original Adobe font, the characters are badly distorted, which is what threw me off. Whoever created that "logo"(!) badly mangled the letterforms, clearly evident when you compare the true cut of the font with it. Either that, or it is a knockoff cut of the font. Neil

I think you are right, Ramon. It would be the bold, or more likely the Black weight. Adobe sells the set of 3 fonts for $79 or just a single weight for $29. <http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/P/P_1261.html> This is a commerical font, so you are unlikely to find a legitimate copy on the free font sites.

Neil, I went by the script on the poster photographed in the original post, and had not seen the other sample until you mentioned "poorly executed" and "badly distorted". :D (I was too lazy to copy and paste the URL; the first one was a true link.)

YES, Snell Roundhand. Thank you so so so much. I know, this font really was "mangled" (good word choice) -- the logo designer was impossible to get in touch with and i had to work with what was given to me -_-.... Thank you so much for the help.
