I've been trying off and on for some time to find a font that is close to this one for a design. I'm pretty sure this was hand drawn originally so a perfect match probably doesn't exist. I'd like the a and the s to have the same clean and cut off lines as this one.
Thanks Jamie, but I've spent considerable time looking for this, including the sites you mentioned (among many, many others). Hoping somebody's run into something similar is my last hope.
"My father who was an amateur printer told me that the foremost american type designer, Kurt Goudy (I think that's the name) was bugged by the fact that he couldn't identify the typeface on the Pabst Blue Ribbon billboard he saw every day when he took the El in Chicago, and finally called up Pabst to ask what it was. The answer was that some graphic artist had made up their label and had just done the letters needed. Goudy got permission to fill out the font, which is, naturally, called Pabst. It is a very fine looking font."
And then a response to that:
"all true,but the font family designed by Mr Goudy in 1902 is not the font needed.
I have seen similar fonts but none exact."
So, from what I have gathered, there may be a Pabst font out there, but it is not exact?
I remember a couple years back i used to go to some russian website and get all those logo fonts like blockbuster and stuff never did anything illegal with them, but i liked using the font styles to make personal spoof shirts. Just cant find them anymore they prolly got shut down.
I think I know how to do what I want. I found some handwriting fonts for teachers. They have the right shapes and spacing. I think all I need to do is put a 2-3pt stroke on the text to get the thickness I need. They're not perfect but they're a lot closer than anything else I've found and should suffice. Thanks for the suggestions. I will post my stab at the reproduction.
Help me find a similar font
