    The font is called Mayfair Regular created by Canada Type. As it does cost money, I can't do an example for you. Just search this site for fontspec in order to see how to include an .otf font like this one. – LaRiFaRi Aug 20 '15 at 12:49
  • @yo The http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14/how-to-look-up-a-symbol-or-identify-a-math-symbol-or-character seems to be not helpful in this case. There is some strange font, probably known to someone from his/her work. – Przemysław Scherwentke Aug 20 '15 at 12:52

    @PrzemysławScherwentke To me it appears like that the particular font is not of interest, rather the calligraphic/script style. Anyways, font recognition questions are off-topic since they are hardly useful to anybody else than the OP... – yo' Aug 20 '15 at 13:03
  • @yo' So it is better to close this as off-topic, not a duplicate. – Przemysław Scherwentke Aug 20 '15 at 13:06

A version with \mathcal:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}% for \mathbb

\begin{document}
  $ \mathcal{V} \subset \mathbb{R}^3 $
\end{document}

Result

The shape of the symbol depends on the font. An example with mathptmx (Times):

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}% for \mathbb
\usepackage{mathptmx}

\begin{document}
$ \mathcal{V} \subset \mathbb{R}^3 $
\end{document}

Result mathptmx

The same with mathpazo (Palatino) instead of mathptmx:

The .ttf version of the font Mayfair can be downloaded here. You will have to use Lua- or XeLaTeX in order to get it running, though. 

% arara: lualatex

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\newcommand*{\myV}{\text{{\fontspec{Mayfair.ttf}V}}}
\usepackage{amssymb}

\begin{document}
Here is your desired inline math: $\myV\subset\mathbb{R}^3$ 

And back to the normal font again.
\end{document}
