808Dream 8 Posted May 21 Does anyone know the font used by Kylie for her logo name on the Aphrodite album? Every suggested font that I've found online doesn't exactly match, so I'm still trying to make out what font is that. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is Broken Hearts with a little extra kerning, and it seems stretched out as well. https://krakenfiles.com/view/nlt8Nej64w/file.html here is a zip file for it, you can manipulate it to make it look exact in whatever program you use 3 Quote the earth shattered, the sky opened that rain was fire, but we were wooden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll list the ones I've checked, which are very similar, but still not quite like it. once I'll be home 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

annedauphine 33,876 Posted May 22 Okay so I looked really extensively and I found two things: one non exact match but quite similar, and a clearer logo. Not a great hunt lol. Looking in depth into the guy who made the logo, I'm more and more sure this is custom. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annedauphine 33,876 Posted May 22 I asked on my Twitter, and got this suggestion, which is p accurate as well but unlikely to be the original base as it's from 2013 https://klim.co.nz/retail-fonts/domaine-display/ 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However I would be incredibly interested in knowing if the Grand Cru designers got inspired by this Kylie logo The resemblance is just uncanny, a type designer friend on Twitter said it was custom bc the "K was too wide to be a normal font" and I thought it was fascinating. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess it's the most similar one, the edges of the capital E are also a little bit stretched forward, so that's pretty similar, I got the full family but it's a commercial font and I guess I'm not allowed to post it in here, so if so is interested Dm me 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
