Hi all,

I need some suggestions about the number “100”.
I already read similar post but can remember any with the number “100”. Made a search and did not found anything...
I’m preparing a logo for a company that makes 100 years next year.
So I’m looking for a typeface for the “100”.
I want a “classic look”, “strong” (bold?), “straith” not italic, sans or not...
I made some test and these are is “my results”...
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
António

Hi António,

how big will it be displayed? You’ve set your examples at a size where all of them look a little bit blunt, to me. There are display versions of Bodoni, Arno and Chaparral that would have some more character.

Florian,

Thanks for the suggestion. I really enjoy better Arno Display...

“how big will it be displayed?”
Well...not shure yet, but not big. Only in catalogues and some ceramic pieces (gifts...etc).

If it is 100 years it must be real classic.
I would use Arno or Bodoni the others are not much classical.
