Reeses Thins Font Download

The Reese’s Thins logo uses a bold, brush-style script that looks very close to Wild Ride, a font by Michael Hagemann. Wild Ride is a commercial font from FontMesa, and the Reese’s name is a Hershey trademark. If you need a free option, Lobster and Pacifico from Google Fonts get you most of the way.

About the Reese’s Thins font

Reese’s Thins are thin chocolate peanut butter cups, sold by Hershey. The logo letters are thick, rounded and slanted, with a hand-painted feel. Hershey has not published a font name for its logo. Wild Ride is the match fans and font sites point to, and the sample below shows how close the shapes are.

Reese’s candy began with H.B. Reese, a former employee of the Hershey Chocolate Company who invented the peanut butter and chocolate cup, according to Hershey’s own FAQ. The brand now sits under Hershey, which is why the logo is so tightly protected.

The Wild Ride family was drawn by Michael Hagemann and released in 2001 through FontMesa, which sells its fonts through MyFonts. You will see Wild Ride on some free font sites, but the foundry sells it, so confirm the license before using it for anything you sell.

How to use the Reese’s Thins font

Download the font file, then right-click it on Windows and pick Install. On a Mac, double-click it and click Install Font in Font Book. Restart your design app.

The look works best in orange and brown, with a thick outline and a soft shadow. Use it for party signs, bake sale posters, gift tags and food blog headers. Keep the text short, because a heavy script gets hard to read in long lines. Two or three words at a large size looks best, and a plain sans like Arial or Open Sans works well for the smaller text around it. Our font generator can save a quick image if you do not want to install anything. Do not use the font on packaging that looks like real Reese’s products.
