There's an area where tg members volunteer to provide the industry standard name for a typeface they seek or have, and need to match
Name That Font.

Yeah, yeah, MyFonts.com has "What the Font?!", but tg can assist with an actual person with experience trying to font match, and our thread's name is PG, unlike MyFonts'.

The reason why we see so many knock-offs with similar names is sort of a "wink-wink" within the industry. A digitial typeface cannot be copyrighted, but a font's name can.

and that is why a generation of CorelDRAW users believe that Aachen Bold is called "Aardvark Bold", because it was the first (alphabetically) font that came with the app.

Some knock-offs are expertly created. Coolsville was designed in 1993 and was probably auto-traced from a scan. Not all Font Bank typefaces are this poorly created.

My Best,
