Would anyone be able to identify the package or tool used to created this particular bar plot? It has a distinctive font.

This seems to be a bar chart made using Google sheets, see also this chart which was made with Google sheets:

It's really difficult to know with what tool they do that. but I will give my chances to R or Excel. That overlapping is automatic perform with excel just selecting the data this is the instruction-: Go to the insert section: char category and choose the 2-D Column, Style 7, Layout 16.
also you can perform a "similar" plot with ggplot and the theme pubclean. ( maybe you need to check the themes of ggpubr )
# Create the bar plot. Use theme_pubclean() [in ggpubr]
ggplot(df, aes(x = cut, y = counts)) +
geom_bar(fill = "#0073C2FF", stat = "identity") +
geom_text(aes(label = counts), vjust = -0.3) +
theme_pubclean()
Just for check again and give to you reasons about this graph. That webpage continue with another bar chart with the dates stacked in vertical position.
Using Excel with some old visualization( check the dates ):
Note: If my data is small the dates will look like the above chart.
