It is indeed a nice typeface, however I find the ’g’ looking a bit clumsy. It doesn’t seem to ’belong’, it might be too light, I don’t know. And the ’g’ is in the title of the book. But thanks nonetheless! :)

FF Bau Super would be my

Yes, actually, I just added Sansa Condensed and Soft Condensed to my list. The Ultra Black weights are beautiful. It’s one of my favorites so far (Sansa is one of my favorite typefaces anyway).

Sansa Condensed

I love Sauna. It’s not too funky, I’ve considered it, but a bit too cheerful. Or... ’optimistic’, so to speak. It’s for a poetrybook cover, and most poems have a slight dark undertone. I would like to give it a bold type treatment.

Does your face have oldstyle

Does your face have oldstyle figures? ;)

More and more every day! The lining figures are under my i’s.

My face is fairly fat, but honestly, I’m dieting!

I kicked the server.

I kicked the server. FontShop’s back up now.

Thanks for the tips so far.

Thanks for the tips so far. Some nice faces amongst them.
I’m still open for more suggestions though. :)
Shame I can not reach fontshop.com at the moment to check the last one out.

Looking for very fat faces

Quincunx — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 10:28:13 -0700

Hey, I’m looking for a couple of sans serif faces that are or have very black weights. I’m thinking as black as Underware’s recent (custom) Fat Ed, Fedra Sans Display 2, Amplitude Ultra weights, etc. They shouldn’t be too funky.

I’m leaning towards Fedra Sans Display 2, but I would like to look at other typefaces before I decide anything. Thanks in advance. :)
