Alan22 Posted Saturday at 04:46 AM Share Posted Saturday at 04:46 AM 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 Saturday at 09:36 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:36 PM Narrow as in condensed? or just not as wide than some other sans serif typfaces? Link to comment
SapereAude Posted Saturday at 10:02 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:02 PM 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 Sunday at 12:02 AM Share Posted Sunday at 12:02 AM Maybe Saira Extra Condensed licensed under SIL Open Font license Link to comment
Alan22 Posted Sunday at 01:40 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 01:40 AM 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 Sunday at 02:24 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 02:24 AM 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 Sunday at 04:42 AM Share Posted Sunday at 04:42 AM 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
