\LaTeX{} is the way. – Steven B. Segletes Jun 09 '15 at 15:15
Are you asking for the font used for those letters or asking how to produce the latex logo? – David Carlisle Jun 09 '15 at 15:16
I am asking for the font – user3559542 Jun 09 '15 at 15:17

why show it as a logo then:-) Do you have that document in electronic form? If so you can just extract the answer from the pdf – David Carlisle Jun 09 '15 at 15:19
No, I do not have it, that is why I put its picture – user3559542 Jun 09 '15 at 15:24
@David :it does not work for me – user3559542 Jun 09 '15 at 15:31
@user3559542 the question is then not really a TeX question (and is off topic) as it isn't about how to use the font in tex but rather if anyone recognises that letter shape, as such it would be better in a graphic design or typography forum than here. Although you might be lucky and someone spot it. – David Carlisle Jun 09 '15 at 15:54
where (what book or publication) did you get this logo. it is not the "standard" (computer modern) form of the logo since the spacing is too generous. – barbara beeton Jun 09 '15 at 15:55
lucida? perhaps – David Carlisle Jun 09 '15 at 15:58
@barbarabeeton In my experience, the output of \LaTeX often looks wrong with other fonts. I assume Knuth crafted the specifics of \LaTeX to fit with his CM font? – Sverre Jun 09 '15 at 16:03

@Sverre -- indeed knuth did craft the specifics of \TeX to fit with the cm fonts (\LaTeX is someone else's invention), but it's not really difficult (just tedious) to adapt it to a different font. knuth, in a tugboat article, addressed this question with respect to the various cm fonts. – barbara beeton Jun 09 '15 at 16:33
@barbarabeeton This inspired me to write a new question about that. – Sverre Jun 09 '15 at 17:20
