What is Gourmet magazine's font for their logo?
Does anyone know what the typeface is that was used for Gourmet magazine's logo? I'm sure it was modified but if someone can help me identify the basic font, that would be wonderful. Thanks!

Looks like it's custom : http://typophile.com/node/36747

Is it possible that it's hand-lettering and therefore not a typeface?

I was gonna say, yeah, it's customized.

I'm going to create the "G" from scratch and use a font called Snell Roundhand for "ourmet", customizing it to match the logo. Thanks for all of the feedback, guys.

or you could try What the Font !?
..pretty good source.
"pload a scanned image of the font and instantly find the closest matches in our database. If WhatTheFont can’t figure it out, you can submit your image to the WhatTheFont Forum where cloak-draped font enthusiasts around the world will help you out!"
Is this the one? I would check Veer...looks familiar to me.

shoot. no link.
UM check http://www.veer.com
as I said the font looks familiar: perhaps feel script or # The Complete Charles Bluemlein Script Collection?

There are two fonts that are really close...and unlike snell...the R & M are closer to the customized Gourmet Logo....
Bickham is a standard Adobe font that comes with creative suite, or the stand alone illustrator & photoshop products....it is everywhere...
You might also try York which is very similar.
Regardless...you'll have to recreate the G if you want it to match perfectly....and even the other letters will need to be tweaked to get the widths & kerning to line up...but...depending upon what you are doing, it may be close enough.
What software are you using & what's the application?

@2qrs - good point. You could just outline the G only?
