It's lovely, and I wish I could ID it for you. But alas, all I can do is offer something similar.

@ Heron2001:
Valentina is closer than anything I found.
Love the style for the _f_. A simlar _f_ is found in Streamline, but the rest of the letters are wrong.
Any suggestions as to fonts with this style of _f_

Image is tiny. I did some work on it and was able to get something that could be used to font the letters:

Maybe it's handmade...

I've been looking for this for a long time!

Don, the "f" you found has thick and thins - the original post is in one weight.
JimmyTrueLove - I think it is a font - the "f" is an exact match to the second "f" -

I'm sure someone will come back to this.

PS Also for a similar feel - Freestyle Script: http://myfonts.us/td-HyVthw
and if you look at the glyphs - you'll see a similar "R" to your OP - paired with an f!
Better yet - that style "R" on it's own -

This one has a strong 1980's script feel to it. The closest thing I can find is Kaufmann.

Jackie, I agree that we need a monotone _f_.

I vectorized the _f_ and _e_. My results:



I made the space glyph narrow [about a third of the caps height, e.g. 220/700] and used a double space between the combinations _fe_, _ef_, _ff_ and _ee_.

The _fe_ matches the spacing in _forfeit_

The other combinations, including the first _ff_, are also spaced the same as in _forfeit_.

This _ff_ would look ugly in a font, but placing a space in the middle of _ff_, as shown in the second _ff_ would work fine. If this is a font, the possibility exists that it includes a ligature to deal with the _ff_ issue.

@WinsorPrint
Kaufmann's monotone thickness is close to _forfeit_.
I agree that the _e_ in Kaufmann is close to _forfeit_, but the other letters are mostly too angular and the font has a stiffer feel than _forfeit_.

Donn, your FF would work if you take the second F and raise it up from the baseline

Jackie, yes, a raised _f.alt_ would permit an _ff_ effect with a connected cross stroke. Increase the leading on _f.alt_ and there is no need for a space between _f_ and _f.alt_.

Some similarities for _oreit_

The ‘o’ is particularly similar. Good job!
