Is that really Tekton Pro in those illustrations? Doesn't look the Tekton Pro I used to know...

heh, that's most certainly not Tekton, which is very recognizable.

The script in the figures shown is Zapfino. They're both inspired by hand lettering, but stylistically are nothing alike.

It's a pretty crazy error for a post on typographic expertise.

It looks like Snell Roundhand to me.

Ah, you are quite right. Thanks for the clarification. So much for my pronouncements about looking closely ;)
