Swishy Swashes
Richard Lipton’s Bickham (US$79)
Bookman Swash (US$39 each) available from Precision Type. Thanks Grant Hutchinson for the scan.
Underware’s Sauna (US$250) comes with nice swashes
Polonaise (US$19.95)
Cabernet Swash (US$69), as seen in the Foxy Brown poster.
Doyald Young’s Young Baroque (US$40)
The extremely lovely Lagarto (?)
Scriptorium’s Belphebe, Gazardiel, Allegheny, and Platthand, all at US$18 each.
T26’s Opsmarckt (US$49), Penman and the more restrained Penman B (US$25) from Page Studio Graphics.
Oops, Peter Bruhn is talented indeed, but he didn’t design Sauna. That was Underware.

Posted by: Stephen at December 19, 2003 12:54 AMOops indeed. Thanks for pointing it out Steph, I’ve corrected it now.
I do hope more people will add stuff to my font crushlist too.

Anakronism is quite swishy too. From Nick’s Fonts

Posted by: Karen at September 14, 2004 03:48 PMPirouette from Dan Reynold’s on Typophile’s thread on contemporary-looking scripts. Apparently, “Ryuichi Tateno was influenced by Zapf’s work when he worked on this project” and “Hermann Zapf is a fan of the typeface.”
Posted by: Karen at December 3, 2004 04:29 PMDoes anyone still have Bookman Swash??
I bought it from ITC Fonts and it’s an incomplete set!
Astounding but true.
Please please help.
