This past Saturday we soft opened our pet project Blanchisserie Americain. When creating the logo, I drew inspiration from the 1950s. I wanted a font that was very simple yet conveyed classic elegance. The fonts used by GarnerWare and Lincoln BeautyWare with tight kerning captivated the most.

I liked this font but felt the kerning wasn't tight enough.

I liked the treatment of the following labels, but the fonts seemed more casual. For a bakery:

And there were fonts that were a little too plain and didn't say anything at all.
