Hi there I've been looking for this Barbie-font for some time now. If somebody could help me that would make my day!

Well, don't imagine strange things!!!!! Just a dad of two children (boy and girl) who buy toys.

The last scrapbooking entry on this Web page lists the use of a Barbie Medium Italic font, by Mattel.

My guess is that it's bundled with Mattel Barbie software

the logo posted by C_h_r_i_s is probably 20 years old.

the mark itself, while custom, made me think of Treacy's
work or Benguiat's work.

As JFP, noted, there are more recent Barbie logos
than the one shown. It's possible that the most recent
one (with the flower dotting the i) was turned into a font.
But it's unlikely that the old logo above was made into
a font for a recent computer game.

Like JFP, I have a boy and a girl, ages 7 and 5 _
actually I'm really into toys myself. :-)

I have some toy industry reference books at home that
I could consult, if anyone is interested in specifics.

Mattel is consistently good with its typography, but
there are aberrations, such as the recent Cali Girl logo.

Alright Yves, I've set you up for a doozy. :-)

That's a custom designed logo, C_h_r_i_s, not a font.
You won't find anything like it.

Oh, I didn't know that Mattel had a Barbie font made. Do you
have access to samples?

Well, we don't know if the typeface actually looks like the
logo. Dang we should find a sample. Nobody has kids
who own Mattel Barbie Software? We won't laugh at you.
Promise. :-)

Thanks a lot everyone. I know that there's a new logo. I thought that there was a typeface for this old font, instead of it beeing costum made.

i might just but the: Barbie print and play Stationery & stickers

See ya, C.
