Italic swash ID needed please

Hello everyone,

I have a small font of 24 pt in an unknown italic with many swash characters, and alternate R and several alternate lower-case as well. I don’t think I have references that go back this far. There is a circular plain pin mark with only the size of the font - a 24 in the circle. The type does conform to the American Point System.

Thank you in advance!

ATF Lining Jenson Italic No. 2. The 1906 specimen book shows a few of the swash capitals and variant lower case letters, but not all. The 1912 specimen doesn’t show any swash.

Thank you so much Darrell! We appreciate it!

Mike
