I know the usual Zapf Dingbats/Zapfino/Wingdings, but does anyone know some alternate fonts with elegant/simplistic typographer’s Fists?

I’m not sure exactly what you’re looking for (these might be too stocky), but Fakir has some gorgeous fists in its ornament font.

I’m looking for a fist to accompany Warnock Pro, serif classical fist.

Fakir is too stocky, but thanks Ehague.

Think I’ve found one, probably Hoefler Text Ornaments.

Corundum Text’s are really interesting, too.

Thanks stephen and aricfuzz, I’ve also been looking at Fletcher’s “the art of looking sideways” there is a whole dps dedicated to fists, might make a one off font of my own with one I’ve found there.

Thanks again.
