I'm looking for the font used in this image to edit the some of the wording. I like the font used and would like to use the same one. The image is not yet licensed for my project, but I will license it to use legitimately. https://stock.adobe.com/images/closed-for-holidays-sign-board-on-a-wooden-table-with-festive-decor-in-background-perfect-for-business-retail-store-office/1107482495

Yes, the Canva is probably the reason. As with all other ubiquitous and hated fonts, it's not the font that is the problem, but the misuse of it. It always starts with those fonts being available in the software used by common people. They spot the effect of typography and strive to make something different. However, they lack the context, taste, and knowledge about fonts outside the app. That's the story of Comic Sans or Algerian being available in MS Office. When you mentioned Canva, it was much clearer to me 🙂

Based on larger, clearer images found via Google search, the all-caps text seems to be set in the system font Georgia. "for" is more difficult to pin down due to its size and resolution—maybe Fisha Script? EDIT: "for" appears to be Hugh is Life.

Dear All, Please see the photo attached -- it's a sign from a public pool, very likely from Gelsenkirchen in West Germany. The pool was built in 1927 and closed in 1983, but the photo is likely from 1960's. https://www.kohlenspott.de/unvergessen-freibad-grimberg-in-gelsenkirchen-auch-hoerbar-als-podcast/ I believe having seen something similar in antique German trams, too. Could you please help identifying the font? Are there any similar fonts? Could you recommend a source for German fonts from that era? Thank you very much!
