Alan22 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Hi everyone, I'd like to ask for some advice on ideas for a nice narrow san-serif font for headers (top of book page) that would compliment a Dolly body text (see image below), and would work well for a casual/fun/conversational book. Thanks in advance! Alan Link to comment
SapereAude Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Narrow as in condensed? or just not as wide than some other sans serif typfaces? Link to comment
SapereAude Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 That looks like a nice, classic body typeface. I don't suppose you'd want to pair it up with Copperplate? How about Alternate Gothic? https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/atf-alternate-gothic Helvetica Narrow? https://fontsgeek.com/fonts/Helvetica--Narrow Link to comment
Les Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Maybe Saira Extra Condensed licensed under SIL Open Font license Link to comment
Alan22 Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I mean narrow in the sense that you can fit more words into the header. An example would be Interstate. Link to comment
Alan22 Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 My original post might be a bit vague, so here are a few examples of the kind of font that I have in mind (coolvetica top, bloomsburg bottom). Link to comment
SapereAude Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Neither of those fonts strikes me as being especially narrow. The first, however, to me looks like the letters are crammed in too close together for easy reading. I rather like the second choice, and it seems to balance well with the visual weight of the body text. Link to comment
