Anyone way too familiar with fonts for their own good?
I am having a hell of a time figuring out what this font is:


I need it very very badly
More examples can be found here: http://www.harlequincostume.com/gallery.php?cat=gands&show=hms&img=27
Each shows title is done in the font, so click one and it'll pop up.

Anyone? Anyone? Please please please?

4. Also
look at the "b" and "d" of your sample. A type face would have the base of the b coming below the baseline just as the d does.

7. There are some fonts that do that
Though of course I can't name a single one off the top of my head. I saw one just the other day and found it vaguely annoying yet quaint. It's a real throwback to days gone by.

9. It's Black Chancery
"A shareware or freeware typeface," according to Thomas Finney of Adobe Systems.

I'm embarassed that I didn't recognize it.
