Collective entry for two very similar bottom-heavy script
typefaces, Gonzales Jeanette and
Brandywine.
Gonzales
Jeanette is shown in Photo-Lettering’s 1967 Alphabet
Yearbook), credited to Francisco Gonzales.
Brandywine
is a close follower shown by Lettergraphics in 1969. [Lettergraphics 1969] Also shown by
Phil’s [Phil’s Photo 1985]. Shown as Liquor
in an undated (post-1981) FotoStar catalog as well as by Castcraft
[Castcraft 1978], always with alternates for
‘GIOSrsz&’. Copied by Formatt as Vineyard, with alts for
‘GISrsz). [Formatt 1974]
The differences between Jeanette and
Brandywine are most pronounced in some of the
capitals. Homage to the Alphabet shows a
Brandywine Bold which is an alias of Charade a.k.a. Gaston.

Bob Alonso’s Lorraine Script (2000) is based on Gonzales Jeanette. Elvira Slysh made Astron, a digital version based on Brandywine including Cyrillics (ParaType/ParaGraph, 1991). In Astron, the letters don’t join up. There is also a limited freebie by Richard William Mueller, Brandy Script (1993).
