Member pdx… Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform I'm looking for a thick, substantial titling serif, similar to H&FJ's Saracen, but with a classic bracketed serif. Any suggestions? Link to comment
Member Wes… Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Maybe check out Traktoretka? Link to comment
Member ken… Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 What quality of Saracen are you after? Is Zócalo Display Black in the ball park? Link to comment
Member pdx… Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Zocalo is attractive, but I particularly like how Saracen is thick on all strokes, though there is some contrast. I also like the fairly conventional lettershapes, which Zocalo does have, while Traktorekta doesn't so much. Link to comment
Member ken… Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hmm. Might be tough to find something heavy for display, but with modest contrast and classical serif structure. Substantial, titling, and bracketed serifs usually leads to high contrast. Conversely, substantial and low contrast usually leads to slab or wedge serifs. What about something like Iowan Old Style Black? Link to comment
Member pdx… Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 That's great, Kentlew! I may very well use Iowan, assuming no one's got a better suggestion. Link to comment
