Whatthefont found some very similar fonts, but they aren't this font.
The closest font I've found so far is Poetica Chancery II, but it
doesn't have the hand-drawn elements. (see below).
Identifont didn't come close.
The particulars that I'm interested in are the hand-drawn calligraphy
elements. For example, the flourish at the top left on the A and P; the
way the cross bar on the A crosses both vertical elements; and how the
vertical element of the P is slightly wider at the very top where it
joins with the curved element. Also how the curved element of the P is
not perfectly symmetrical (thicker on the "thin" portion of the top of
the curve" which has a "hand drawn" feel to it, and how all the serifs
are joined by a curve, not by a sharp angle.
I'm also interested in finding similar fonts - where they are almost
perfect but not quite, with a hand-drawn character while still looking
crisp and clean - e.g. the work of a skilled hand, someone with
beautiful penmanship.
Thanks!

At Bowfin Printworks, this style of font is called a non-flowing font.
That is, the letters are not connected. Start at

8, and 11 (and perhaps the other parts).
