Hi,
can anyone identify the typeface that the word "cake" is written in?
thanks

It is very unlikely this is a typeface or has an equivalent as a digital font. Letters stamped in metal usually are especially made for the stamping machines.

do you know of any typeface that looks like this that is available digitally?
Thanks,
roger

wow - could that be the original inspiration for Chicago? ;)

@Jacob LOL. Chicago has always been the tacky tongue-in-cheek font IMNSHO.

A squared Peignot. Also look at the order of thick-thin strokes of that A.
It reminds me of this:

A little rounder, but similar in construction:

How about Radiant? It seems like a Deco style to me.
