Easter is already available at a retailer near you

Time flies by so incredibly fast. It's no wonder why really. Retailers and our consumer driven Capitalist society shoves the next thing down our throats before we have even had the chance to observe the last thing let alone digest it. Anyway, I'll step down from my soap box and share what I found in Meijer the other day.


Wasn't Valentine's Day just last week? Isn't Easter after St. Patrick's Day? That's why I can never keep the spring holidays dates straight. Anyway, I looked up Russell Stover's logo on several of the font identifier sites. The nearest I came up with is called Ladybird Std at What Font Is. The other sites couldn't even get that close. It is a script and probably a hand "Lettered" font designed just for this purpose. The text also has a bevel and emboss treatment applied to it, which could be further confusing the image identifiers.


Easter wouldn't be Easter without these little peeps. Personally, I don't care for them. But the little rascals have been around since before I was ever here. As I suspected, this logo typeface is probably a custom creation. Interesting that Korinna popped up on What Font Is search, but it isn't correct because of the capital P and the lower case e for obvious starters. Numerous other typefaces came up, but they also had no true identifying features, or only one character, but not the others. 


Who doesn't like a KISS? These little classics are just melt in your mouth good and aren't only for Easter. I knew this was going to be difficult. Again, no luck on KISSES. It is probably hand drawn. "Milk Chocolate" on the other hand appears to be District Pro Demi according to What Font Is.


I'm a sucker for peanut butter and chocolate. This is my all time favorite flavor in the "Sweets" category. Reese's is yet another trouble causing logo typeface that isn't recognizable by any of the online font identifiers. I'm sure it too is probably a hand lettered version of something inspiring.
