: Font used in Seth Thomas logo Can anyone help me identify the font used in the Seth Thomas logo? I recon the S and the T has been subject to some modifications, but the rest of the letters

@Gretchen549

I haven't been able to turn up the exact font, but most logos are not an unaltered font taken exactly the way it was designed. That said I would be surprised that this font is what Seth Thomas Clocks used (they were incorporated in 1853), what seems more likely is that someone designed a digital font off of the logo or another script to make this one. That said, this font will get you close: Sheer Beauty

There are several things you will need to do in order to get the logo perfect though. First of all there is a 10˚ sheer on it to get the angle right.



Next you will notice that the original has closer letter spacing than Sheer Beauty, therefore you will need to adjust that and fix the ligatures.



Lastly, There are at least eight other issues with the font that will need to be added or adjusted to be perfect.



All in all it might be just as easy to get a piece of tracing paper and draw it.
Hope that helps!
