Help Finding a Modern Sans Serif Typeface
bjk (13 pencils) | Tue, 2008-01-08 19:06I am looking for an very modern sans serif with "sharp" edges. Not the an expert by any means with typeface jargon, but I'll try to explain.
I am currently using Gotham from Hoefler & Frere-Jones, however the squared tops and bottoms on some of the letters does not flow well with the mark I designed. Along with a sample of Gotham, I uploaded two that have more of these sharp points on the edges of all the letters. Notice specifically on the M, N, A, etc. that the points come to a much sharper edge. It also needs to look good in a heavier weight.
Can you identify these or recommend any that are similar?
Many thanks in advance!
