Hello,
What is the typeface used for "inevitable" in the CHANEL ad?
Thank you.
The image is so small and the letters are so common, that it could be anything. You can try Arial Black or Helvetica Black, a bit expanded.
try Blair or eyecontact
Chanel has always used exclusive bespoke typefaces and even for its main woodmark (makes sense for a fashion industry leading company). For instance, on chanel.com, they're using one as webfont which is called "abchanel-couture" and looks not so far from your sample. Whatever it is called, it's some sort of all-caps extended grotesk. Some substitutes: Presicav, Adrianna, Sackers Gothic/Engravers Gothic/Blair (as previously suggested), Turnpike, Akzidenz-Grotesk Extended, Ronsard Crystal, Sweet Sans, Fashion, Zeppelin, Doublewide, Halogen, Idlewid, Luxury Gold, Biondi Sans...
