Altast Greeting is perhaps the the most likely name for this script digitized in the early 1990s. It has various other names including Alto Greeting Script, Happy Birthday, Alton Greeting. None of them has a current legitimate download. The pre-digital font went under the name American Greeting.
Greeting card companies use their own names for the script. Crane calls it Kensington.
The image is rendered from the OPTI clone, released as Alto Greeting Script


Identified font: Altast Greeting

Impact matches _RIFFI_
The other letters of _FLOYD GRIFFIN_ look like horizontally stretched versions of Impact

Identified font: Impact

Aug 16, 2016 at 08:54  [reply]  which font is this ???

Monotype Corsiva redrawn with inconsistent bolding and edits: Swash on _B_ pulled back to fit logo space, connector on _a_ sharpended at base and lengthened, connector on _e_ lengthened, connector pasted between _S_ and _h_, connectors on _h_ and _p_ lengthened, base serif on _p_ clipped.

As for the bolding some parts are close to Monotype Corsiva Bold, available at Linotype https://www.linotype.com/1249835/monotype-corsiva-bold-product.html, but others are not.

IMHO a clumsy rework by the logo maker.

Smashing is much closer

Suggested font: Smashing



The original titles for Stanley Kubrick’s movie “Dr. Strangelove” were designed by Pablo Ferro.
The thin letters have been digitized by several font makers but AFAIK nobody has produced a font based on the heavy letters used for _STRANGELOVE_
For a very approximate substitute you might try Troika
Perhaps somebody else can suggest something closer.

Suggested font: Troika

OL Signpainter Titling is not quite as close but it includes shadow effects.

Suggested font: Signpainter Titling

Painted letters, perhaps from a template, the top half on an arc with resulting distortion means that an exact match to a font is unlikely.
The closest seems to be ITC Symbol Bold

Suggested font: Symbol Bold



Good info.
For anyone wishing to attempt something similar, Rhode Medium Condensed can be purchased from https://store.typenetwork.com/foundry/fontbureau/fonts/rhode
CAUTION: It is perhaps safe to use the results of such an exercise for personal use but anything beyond that raises the prospect of infringement action by the copyright/trademark holders.

Looks like Impact with some minor adjustments -- shortened length of tips on _S_ etc.-- and pasted on tiny serifs and medial spurs

Suggested font: Impact

No match so far.
Horizon & Long Shot have some similarities but are NOT THE FONT.
Star -- NOT THE FONT -- has about the same proportions, and has similar angled terminals. But they are not all in the same locations or direction as the letters in the image.
If the outside corners on Star were made square and Star's angled terminals were relocated, Star would work as a substitute.

Suggested font: Star

Aug 14, 2016 at 09:23  [reply]  Need this FONT!

Tips are made sharper, but upper rhs on _7_ is edited to make it rounder

Suggested font: Norwester



Mahogany Script (aka Monterey in the Bitstream version) with the bouncy baseline made level and the swashes on _F_ and _M_ adjusted.
Perhaps somebody made this as a font?

Suggested font: Mahogany Script
