What's this font? See details.

I have to give Children’s Cottage a much needed makeover. I want to preserve enough from the old site’s colors and sense of whimsy that her long-time customers aren’t shocked or suspicious about the change. To that end, I want to use the existing fonts in the Logo text (I know it is Edwardian Script ITC) and the tagline immediately under the logo. That’s the line that reads, “dressing your children beautifully and traditionally”. Unfortunately, the site owner can’t recall what that tagline font is. I tried uploading a copy of distinctive letters from it to WhatTheFont.com but it couldn’t figure it out either. Does anyone recognize the font. The lowercase “r”, “s”, “y” and “f” characters are pretty distinctive, so it should be identifiable.

It looks a lot like Black Jack, except for the lower-case “t”, which in the word “traditionally” (first occurrence) does not have a lead-in, as it seems to have in the sample.

Now that I’ve downloaded and used the font in a Word document, I’m convinced that it’s the right one. The leading “t” in “traditionally” in my Word doc looks exactly like the one in your sub-heading.

@CWOTUS Yep. It sure looks like it’s Black Jake.

Thanks.

Let us see what the website looks like when you get it done. That site looks like it is still in the 90s. I would love to see how you improve it.

Thanks, Keobooks. I’ll do that.

It’s going to be a tight-budget job, so don’t expect miracles, but I do think it will look more up to date and be more likely to convert first-time visitors into long-term customers for the owner.
