Typography

Marc Jacobs' logo font is Engravers Script

Do you have more info on this? I can only find that it's from David A. Hobbs, Inc. & Tolley Studios - but little more, nowhere to download or buy?

edit: hard to find a good picture of the dries logo, but it actually looks like a copperplate-ish typeface. The nina ricci logo I'm pretty shure is a custom face

edit2: I'm pretty shure miu miu also is a custom typeface, but it's possible something similar excist

wow you're right!
dries logo is similar to copperplate with the difference of the serifs

I just found this really cool periodic table of typography. It's quite big so I'm going to post a link where you can see it.

I love fonts more than anything.

There is something so incredibly comfortable about a really good font. I'm partial to mid-19th and mid-20th century type-faces myself.
