This was in a newspaper advertisement for Sweeney Todd. I don't know whether it’s proprietary to the play or the newspaper had this font. Any help in identifying it would be appreciated.

Hi Carolyn—
This looks to be a hand-set logo and not a typeface. But if you want to come close, there's a typeface called Helena and another that's over the top called "Devine Right" that you can find on almost ay of the free font boards, the legitimate ones, of course. I know this probably won't do as a match, but the "feeling" is there. You want a typeface that's a little "raw" and edgy. Use those keywords in a search on a board.

Thanks Gare. I had found those also but continued looking for a closer match. Couldn't find one. I use mostly http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ and http://www.whatfontis.com/ to help and of the two I prefer What the Font. Once again thank you for your keen insight.
The Scriptorium font foundry makes many (roughly) similar fonts.
http://www.dafont.com/the-scriptoriu...t=SWEENEY+TODD
One such would be Captain Kidd

Another is Scurlock
http://www.dafont.com/scurlock.font?text=SWEENEY+TODD
The top link loads all their fonts on Dafont.
I think you hit the jackpot with the Sherlock and the Captain Kidd, Mike. eitheor of those "say" Sweeney Todd, although don't match the submitted lettering 100%.
Who cares? these guys seem close enough, and again, I'd swear that was a logo someone designed with no particular font in mind.
