A very similar design is shown as Brandywine

New LetterGraphics Styles 1969. Also shown in
Phil’s Photo’s Homage to the Alphabet (1985) and, as

(for ‘GIOSrsz&’). The differences are most pronounced in some
of the capitals. It is not clear which came first. Homage to
the Alphabet shows a Brandywine Bold which also
goes under the names Gaston
and Charade.

Bob Alonso’s Lorraine Script (2000) is based on Gonzales Jeanette. Elvira Slysh created 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).
