Does anyone know where I can buy or download a Spencerian hand calligraphy font? It is the font seen here:

Thank you!
Spencerian
This is another example of a real hand calligraphy history. Ornament and flowers, is an offshoot of Spencerian and Copperplate back to the 18th century. Created with a pen tip, thick and thin lines to create sophisticated letterforms and rhythms in the script.
Spencerian is traditional, formal, and easily adapted to a printer font. Spencerian has many variations depending on the scribe, he is the most diverse of all the hands because there is no "set" alphabet calligraphers to follow.
I would call a printer to see if the font you want is readily available as TrueType fonts ...
Here's a site that might help you find something similar ... These services are free for personal use ...
