What Font Does Chanel Use?

What font does the Chanel logo use? Today, we take a look at the brand’s iconic logo, and then we’ll share some great alternatives to the Chanel logo font that you can download from Envato Elements.

Chanel is easily one of the most recognisable fashion brands in the world. Today, we’ll look at this incredibly simple but effective logo and logo font.  

The Chanel font did not begin its life in a foundry as so many fonts do. It was in fact born from Coco Chanel’s handwriting, and of course it was quickly copyrighted. However, this simple, elegant, and much beloved font inspired many creators to design their own versions.

One of the most popular, the Couture font, was designed by Chase Babb in 2012 and offers two styles: bold and bold italic. Now that we know a bit about the Chanel font, let’s look at some wonderful alternatives.
