You mean like <http://tinyurl.com/2vb5dd>?

<http://www.mikrolisk.de/content/kunst.schrift/lateinischeausgangsschrift.jpg>

The z looks basically like the z of most printed
italic fonts.

The script looks very much like the bastardization
between chancery script and traditional Swedish cursive
I use (tho I have very small or no loops on ascenders
other than f, and an r which looks like 92, if you know
what I mean), but what's the deal with the x which looks
like an æ?
