Only the caps - and only a few of them. As you know, in books - not every letter of the alphabet is used in an opening for the chapter. It was his inspiration.

Because Phil Martin designed it in 1977.

Care to discuss how you think it is different?

I'm just curious. I've written to Claude to see how he came up with his design.

Phil Martin, the designer has passed away. I know he was sued for taking the woman's capital letters and making a font from it. I do not know the financial outcome from it, but as you see Polonaise lives on. (PS I had the pleasure of taking a type course with Phil Martin - he is missed.)

Chopin Script is not the legit font. The legit font is Polonaise - like in Chopin's Polonaises....

Maybe one day you'll learn the story. The script capital letters where used as the opening letters for a book - a woman in Sweden used her own handwriting. From that, a font was developed called Polonaise.

Chopin is a rip off. Malvolio says the author is a mod here. I'd like to hear how he came up with it. Meaning the design of those beautiful capital letters.

I think this might be it. Hard to tell without the outline around it - but the letter shapes look accurate.

Very Similar -

Harold has other fonts like this there - look at Columbia while you are at it.

Nice find fmontpetit. - It is close... not exact - but close!

Have you looked at Times lately?

No thank you - I've no need for it, but I'm glad you can continue with your work. Oh, and yes, you are most welcome.

You are most welcome.

I'm sorry - I don't think I'm awake yet. I just ran it through a font program for you - it feels the closed would be Font Shop's Plus Sans Medium. I hope that helps. Next in line would be Open Sans -- but nothing matches exactly.

Not exact - but close. The exact font was called Discordplain - it was on myfonts.com as a commercial font, but unknown why to me - it's been removed.

This isn't exact - but it may be close enough for your purposes... the "N" needs some work! Oh and so does the O... When I first saw this - I thought someone may have modified ITC Kabel. It's also pretty close.

It would be an easy modification of the A and the E... the rest of the letters fit.

If you mean the M - see http://www.dafont.com/forum/read/8372/mcdonald-s

Found it.

This is Pecita on dafont.com

But it is not the Google font Pecita - you maybe able to find it if it has not been removed looking up on Google: Pecita (Book) -- don't ask me how to download it...

All but the J (and now on the 2nd edit, as I look closer - the C doesn't match either... lol - sorry not awake but it makes a good substitute.) - I can't find the true Poppl Laudatio - which Berthold owned, they seemed to just call it Laudatio now... I'll see if I see have it in my type library - it might explain the different Js.... Just looked and sorry - it doesn't...

Looks like someone had fun using ITC Serif Gothic
