Looking at it again, the �G� is feeling very ITC Anna, but the �B� is more Busorama-esque. Mix and match, perhaps?

Grant I've run into a free face once that was called something like monogram and the letter characters were drawn to face one another. Not a very attractive face. Now Gold Bond is an old-time product and it could be a custom job (its only two characters) Dan

Kyle, can I ask what you need the typeface for? Are you trying to recreate the logo?

Grant doesn't the B seem to overwelm the G. It seems larger and heaver, Dan
