You could make the remaining letters by using letters from Old English Text and editing to trim the rhs serifs from the vertical strokes etc.

You could make the _W_ in the sign by using the _W_ from Monotype Engravers Old English and editing to remove the latticework in the counters, trimming the rhs serifs from the vertical strokes and deleting the bottom segment of the lhs vertical stroke.

Jun 09, 2015 at 22:05  [reply]  Good times font

_GOOD TIMES_ can be made by taking Thunderbird and compressing it 75%.
Note for example that this process produces the unusual _S_ with the ultra thick diagonal.
Some editing is required to make an exact match.

Seems to be a custom lettered logo.
Garb Athletics has a post dated May 19, 2015 that mentions a "custom jersey designed by Okeeheelee Baseball and created at Superstar Team Sports in West Palm Beach, FL" http://www.garbathletics.com/blog/category/baseball/page/9/ Note: page number will increase with time, rely on the post date.
Compare to the sports script used in the badge for the Okeeheelee Vipers shown on their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/OkeeheeleeVipers/photos/a.458241930936281.1073741824.458241414269666/458243474269460/?type=1&theater

Another similar Salvo Serif. Somewhere between Salvo Serif ExtraCond Medium http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/fontbureau/salvo-serif/extracond-medium/ or Salvo Serif ExtraCond Bold http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/fontbureau/salvo-serif/extracond-bold/

More effort to find an exact match than make perfectly matching quotes from scratch.
But Bureau Grot Extra Comp Black is one of the fonts with quotes that are virtually identical.
If you want rounded corners you will have to dig further.

I have not yet located a font with this precise lettering but can note that it is a variation of Cameo, patented by
Richard Smith of Mackellar, Smith & Jordan in 1874. Cameo is digitized by Bobistheowl as Outstanding.

_the heaviest music festival_ and _www.cadascult.com_ can be approximated with Octoberfest but I suspect there is a closer font.
Don

Suggested font: Octoberfest

_codascult_ is textura lettering that I did not find as an exact match in a font.
Almost like a heavier version of Liturgisch, but there are differences other than weight.
Also note that the textura letters in the smaller size are different from those in _codascult_
Don

Suggested font: Liturgisch


Jun 06, 2015 at 11:35  [reply]  Font for "Softasilk"?

I suspect this is custom lettering in a style now sometimes used for packaged products such as Splenda
Some similarity to Xavier Dupré's FF Tartine Script.

Did not find a matching font FOR _LA VARA_ but did find something similar based on a 1892 typeface from Cleveland Type Foundry called Oxford No. 2. It's MFC Damask
Don

Suggested font: Damask

I agree that _media_ is based on Caviar Dreams, which in turn is a design inspired by Kabel.
The _ONE_ looks like it might be one of the fonts tagged "experimental" at Creative Marketplace. Some digging there might find it.

Jun 05, 2015 at 08:59  [reply]  Barbie Logo

Barbie Logo from 1975 to 1990 (or 1992?).
Lettering, not a font.
Don



Looks like a logo with customized letters. The _media_ portion seems to be based on Kabel or one of its derivatives. Narrowed _m_, partially rotated _e_, ascender clipped from _d_ to make single story _a_. Some Kabel derivates already have a single story _a_. Here is one which would need a weight adjusted to between thin and regular.
Don

Suggested font: Ealing Thin



Morris Fuller Benton classic design of 1933.
This is the one from Castle Type.

Font Bureau Agency includes a lowercase.
The weight of the letters seems to be adjusted to somewhere between bold and black.

Esperanca is customized by a slight thickening of the stroke.

Jun 04, 2015 at 21:53  [reply]  Dungeons&Dragons Gothic

This letter is in a style sometimes called Kirchengotische Schrift [Church Gothic font], which dates at least as far back as 1879 when similar letters were published in _Vorlegeblätter für Firmenschreiber_ [copying sheets for company clerk].
This would make an interesting font, but I have not seen it.
Substitutes in the style:
