The Esquire logo consists of the brand name written in a unique cursive font, with letters that resemble a light handwritten stroke — smooth, flowing lines with slight variations in thickness and shape, especially noticeable in the distinctive tail of the letter “q”. The current version is black and uses the proprietary Esquivel font, created specifically for the brand. The logo has been in use since 2017, when the company returned to a mid-20th-century aesthetic with added precision and expressiveness for the digital age.
Esquire is an American men’s magazine founded in 1933 by Arnold Gingrich, David Smart, and Henry Jackson. Since 1986, it has been published by the media conglomerate Hearst Communications.

Esquire is known for its contribution to the development of New Journalism and for publishing works by writers who became icons of American nonfiction.
