Anybody know anything about this script font that makes a one-page appearance in Deberny & Peignot's 1930 Spécimen Général v1?

Day 5 of Drawing a Font Every Day. Took a few days off, but am back with this little connecting script font. Not based on anything specific, just a marker script that looks like something you’d see on a 1930’s movie poster or aperitif ad. Handwriting-ish but also crisp, bordering geometric.

I managed to make this work with very few contextual alternates. It’s pretty rough around the edges, but I guess that’s the nature of fonts drawn in the span of a day!

Day 4 of drawing a font every other day: monospaced blackletter.
Day 3 of drawing a font every day. A neo-grotesque optimized for small sizes.
Meant as a (potential) addition to a suite of Helmut Homage display types I’ve been messing around with
Day 2 of Drawing a Font Every Day: an expressive Uncial/half-uncial/blackletter mashup, based on a piece of lettering by the late great Helmut Salden.
