Marilyn's Photos - May 11 2026 - What's in a Font?
Sugar has come in the same paper bag with the Redpath name/logo since I can remember. The Redpath logo is derived from originator John Redpath's own script. It is Canada's oldest continuously used food product trademark. Is there a font that is similar? Calgary Script, Galanthia, Modern Symphony, Freehand and Vegan are identified as close alternatives. While I looked at them, I don't see the similarities and don't have the expertise to figure things out. Another site says it is similar to Cooper Black.
A similar story is the Campbell's Soup script. It isn't a font either, but it is hand engraved and is very similar to Joseph Campbell's own signature. To get a "Campbell's Soup" effect, the Quincho Script is considered similar.
Spencerian is the Coca-Cola script. It was custom-designed in 1885 based on the Spencerian script, a popular form of American handwriting in the late 19th century.

And the most famous font inventor? Max Miedinger created Helvetica in 1957, achieving fame for what is considered the world's most-seen typeface.
