Nice work Mike... I would have never gotten that one.

There was a PhotoLettering font called Benguiat Charisma Shaded that was identical to this. There was an Expresiv PhotoLettering font set from 1994 (which I have) that includes this font, and an unshaded Script version as well. This suggests that Candice may have been another digitization of Charisma.

Your resources are boundless, another reason why I'll never surpass you as the top identifier!

I have the PhotoLettering Benguiat Charisma as well and besides the Regular and Shaded it includes a Contour version.

Candice and Candice Inline were released by Letraset in 1976. At first glance, Candice and Benguiat Charisma seem very similar, but put them side by side and they are about as different (or similar, if you will) as Cooper Black and Goudy Heavyface.
