Hey, all.

I'm trying to make a set of 10-disc collector's edition covers, sized for 4K cases. I'm mimicking the style used for the original "gold box" Extended Editions. But I'm having a problem recreating the logos for each film, the way the packaging designers did. I could try tracing it from a scan, but that's incredibly tedious. So, does anyone know of a more accurate typeface, besides Ringbearer? The original was apparently called Sauron, but WB keeps it locked up tighter than the Dark Lord's own castle. I've tried stretching each letter from Ringbearer into various proportions, but it never looks right. I've also tried using every "official" logo I can find, but they simply don't match. I've thought of trying to make my own font, but don't have the knowledge or the software. This is the style I'm after; anybody have fresh ideas?

After a bit of online research, the custom typeface Sauron is repeatedly mentioned as the typeface used on posters and other marketing materials and merchandise, while the film titles themselves are described as custom lettering and credited to Alan Lee.

Sadly, I haven’t found anything closer to Sauron than Ringbearer.
