Alternative to papyrus

[Jen Goodwin]

Anyone know of an alternative font to papyrus? Something with the same style, yet clean edges?
I thought maybe ITC Carlton, but that is probably too formal looking.
I have a customer that loves Papyrus WAY more than I do - plus this is for a wall of lobster fisherman's names and I think it will take a week to cut the file if I use papyrus. LOL!
He thought it looked great on his computer screen, but when I showed him a letter up close - he agreed that he didn't know it was that jagged. (I run into this all the time with this font!!!)

arial

funny... the last time i used it, I believe I put a pretty hefty outline on it and then inlined from there. it takes out most of the rough spots.

tempus, still a bit rough/drawn but not so detailed

Thanks guys! I think Tempus will work great!! It's either that or rebuild the papyrus...but I don't have time. Someone could sell a cleaner version of that!

I usually just turn it to paths and run the "simplify" filter in Illustrator at about 98%.
It looses about 40% of the nodes without messing up the general letterform.
