FAT font suggestions

[upinmcleod]

Hi,

This is my first post here, I'm not even sure if i'm in the right place... Anyway, I'm designing an advert where you can see the image through the font, the only trouble i'm having is finding a font that is fat enough and clear enough to show enough image to make it look half decent. have a look at what i've done so far.



I know the words aren't aligned and its a slight mess, but its just in the concept stage. Any help and criticism would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Helvetica black rather than bold would be a start. Franklin Gothic would work too.

ALSO ..........not to be picky but it 'DEFINE' not 'DIFINE' as you have written - sorry!!i do like this though! yeh i agree with sparkcreative - 'black' fonts are normally alot chunkier that 'bold'.

I use the font called IMPACT. That may look ok for the above.

I agree on IMPACT, try a 120-130% horizontal scale on it and it really does become fat!

Rather than stretch a font, try Gill or Humanist Black or Ultra Black

Make it Helevetica. Make it heavy. Arial seems to be ok at this concept, so Helvetica could prove a good fit. Impact is becoming overused and a bit misused, but you can't stop the masses flocking to the gaudy fonts can you?

By Humanist you mean Fruitger?

[Katedesign]

No - Humanist and Gill are virtually identical - Humanist is a Bitstream font. Frutiger - the NHS font!

They used to do a couple - Humanist 721 and 421 or something like that. One was a Gill clone and one was a Frutiger clone. Very confusing.
