Modern Calligraphy
To elaborate, calligraphy usually has well defined rules, shapes, and strokes. This sample does not.
I have heard this called "modern calligraphy" and "brush calligraphy" but I dont know how "official" those terms are.
I learned copperplate first, and now do it a little more freehand, it's not truly copperplate at this point. These two books have been incredibly helpful to me :)

It’s this one.
Sorry for not giving the author!
If you're interested in modern calligraphy, I can't recommend enough learning the foundations of the script first (ie. "formal" calligraphy, Copperplate, Engrosser's Script, Roundhand, etc.), and then playing around with it.
That being said, this is a pretty good book on modern pointed pen scripts.
Lots of examples out there:

Slickly produced book that I own:
