Font recommendation or advice

A friend has asked if I can produce a wooden version of the "text" portion of this sample, so that she can make something similar in A4 size.

The font looks quite fine in some places and on the top and bottom graphics, and therefore potentially quite fragile to work with.

I'd welcome any suggestions on a similar alternative font "joined up/welded" "perhaps, or advice on material to use.

https://wordmark.it/ I use this to see what a bit of text will look like - it will display the text using ALL the fonts I have on my machine - then you can scroll through and see what you like. I picked a font that is more or less uniform in line widths - somewhat cursive but not overly elegant.

What a gem of a link, how many times I have manually gone through font selection to see what it looks like, that site is so useful - Thanks Pete.

I'll look at the files later - Grandchildren day all day today :-)
