Hello,

I would like to know the font used in the Cartier logo (jewelry).

Thank you for getting back to me as soon as possible ;)

P.S.: I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum ;a :s

    Hello,

    the font type is "Script"

    http://www.cterrier.com/cours/communication/94_typographie.pdf

    Excerpt: (but see the pdf) 

    * Script Fonts Origin: These fonts have their origins in Romanesque handwriting from the Middle Ages. They come close to cursive writing with more or less connected characters. Common fonts: The computer fonts are as follows: Image: personal, intimate, artistic. Use: Its readability is somewhat difficult and tiring. It should not be used for long documents. It can be used to give intimacy to a text. Its aesthetic effect can enhance a poem or a brand. Font Brush Script Font Monotype Corsiva Example: Logos of luxury companies ST Dupont and Cartier


    It is indeed a logo and not a font, plus it must have been made "in-house"

    Another "tip"

    I can't say more ;(

    Personally, I would lean towards a "Bodoni Italic" or a "Bauer Bodoni Italic" with adjusted spacing...

    But it's always the same with so few characters; it's not easy to find without having the significant characters as a reference...
