Hi everbody.

Do anybody knows the name of this handwrittten font?
It is the font of absolut vodka.

thanks a lot

lecker

Do you happen to have a sample you can post?

I can see it. For some reason, it takes long to load. (I don’t know what it is, though.)

Edit: It’s 572k. That could explain it.

Further edit: I can’t explain why the file is 572k. Photoshop shows it as being only 48k when you open it. Also, it is a CMYK jpeg, which some browsers can’t (won’t?) display.

I remember seeing that font, and the closest I could come to was Shelly Volante, Adobe, on the Mac

or HogarthScrD Regular on the PC

It was originally hand drawn by Kotte (Cone) Jönsson.
Read more here about that polished turd of alcohols.

thnx a lot for the answers.
... CMYK - typical for me (posting before thinking)

That’s the funniest thing I’ll read today (and it’s not even noon).

Kinda like OTF handwriting scripts today using salts to make them look hand written :-)
