I'm stumped at the identity of the type used in the attached image. Scrolling through pages of samples at DaFont, using the What the Font tool at MyFonts and the Matcherator at Font Squirrel aren't bringing up any useful results. I'm pretty sure the lettering is not custom drawn.

Adobe deserves as much credit for revolutionizing computer-based print graphics work as Apple, if not more so. Adobe invented Postscript. The page description technology as well as Postscript-based fonts were critical elements in the so-called desktop publishing revolution. Apple happened to...

Many colleges and career techs teach courses on Adobe apps like Illustrator, InDesign, etc because employers are wanting proficiency in those applications from would-be hires more often than other creative applications. Adobe doesn't have any kind of thing they hang over schools saying you have...

IMHO, it's safer editing files and archiving them on physical hard discs. I'm not against cloud-based storage, but I only use a Creative Cloud account folder or other cloud service like Dropbox to store commonly used items (that are also backed up on physical hard discs). If I'm working on a new...

I've been using both Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW since the early 1990's. Photoshop was the first Adobe application I wanted to get; I bought a retail box that had Photoshop 2.5 and Illustrator 4 bundled together. I used CorelDRAW a lot, but the app had no ability to move vector paths into...

An Illustrator file that has custom made art/pattern brushes applied live to objects will have those brushes present in the brushes panel in Adobe Illustrator. When people claim they don't need any Adobe applications and then are faced with having to import a client's Adobe-generated art files...

AutoCAD files are not friendly to sign production. Plus, a legit copy of AutoCAD is expensive. Apps like Flexi or its Vinyl Express LXi cousin are good for general vinyl design/cutting operation. For all the advantages they have with connecting to and controlling vinyl cutters they lack certain...

The basic, not embellished fonts look like Alverata (TypeTogether) https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/alverata The "Jonesfilbrun" letters look custom drawn and then warped afterward. They're made to look related to Alverata (or whatever the base typeface may be). The tractor graphic in that logo...

Thanks. I had to go to Gemini's web site and download a new copy of the font. The old version I had was equipped with only uppercase characters.

The lettering in the attached image has me stumped. The style looks familiar, but I can't seem to find a match and the image I have to work with isn't suitable for various font ID filters online. Thanks in advance for help!

Regarding embedded fonts within PDF files, the type objects using those fonts can be easily converted to outlines from within Adobe Illustrator using the Flatten Transparency dialog box. BUT! First the PDF file must be placed into a preferably blank document using the Place command rather than...

I'm not in any hurry to install the new version considering all the hassles I see people having with it, based on posts at the CorelDRAW user forums. Are there any actual new features or improvements included with this "upgrade?" Corel's web site is not very clear on this at all. I saw a...

I don't recall ever having problems using unfilled, stroked paths for cut lines in print and cut jobs output with Onyx. I apply the "CutContour" custom spot color to the line stroke in the PDF sent to Onyx and it works fine. My only frustration is those rare occasions I have to do cut-only jobs...

What is the artwork that you're cutting? If it is customer provided artwork in the form of a PDF file then there's the problem. PDF files are technically only meant for viewing and printing. PDF is not supposed to be an art file format to be edited further. But we don't live in a perfect world...

The AI-generated stuff creates a set of problems that are different from the issues we see with client artwork made in Canva. The AI imagery can be worse to handle. It's not just a matter of cleanly vectorizing the art. You sometimes have to go in and re-draw certain elements cleanly.

We've received a few pieces of AI-generated "logo" art from customers over the past few months. The imagery always has a variety of flaws. The graphical stuff will have odd, mishapen flaws. Some of the flaws are easier to spot than others. If the imagery has people in it the figures will have...

I'm not a big fan of Adobe Illustrator requiring an extra click to set one object as a "key object" to keep it locked in place for other objects to align to it. The feature is better than nothing. Illustrator didn't always have that key object capability. IMHO, either the first or last object...

While I'll use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out and hand-pan the view in CorelDRAW, I prefer Illustrator's standard keyboard shortcuts for those tasks when using Illustrator. Animated zoom (toggled with the Ctrl & Spacebar keys) works in a far smoother, controlled fashion than choppy mouse wheel...

I dealt with the DOS-oriented 8-dot-3 file naming scheme by creating a file numbering system. I kept separate Notepad files adding descriptions for the file numbers. Once Windows95 was released and long file names arrived I didn't need those separate text files anymore. The CASmate files were...

Regarding Fentanyl, a bunch of that stuff arrives in the US via the mail. The same goes for lots of pills. Customs can't search every semi truck crossing the US or Canadian border. The USPS was going to block any mail shipments originating in China, but apparently backed off from doing so...
