But the more I tried, the more I kept coming back to fonts that looked German and “Oktoberfest” in nature. Fonts like Canterbury and Old English are terrific for an Oktoberfest logo, but their names are not!

(Read assistant as: the guy who drinks other beer during the brewing process and hands the other guy what he needs to do the actual brewing.)
