Good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you all may be!

I need to modify typed used in a logo in order to optimise it for use at a small size - say printed as four lines of 18pt, tightly kerned and leaded, with no unusual printed applications.

the obvious thing would be to open up the letterspacing and leading a wee bit. I’m thinking I might need to shave crotches a bit too. I don’t have a great deal of experience in the more functional aspects of drawing type (may i burn in hell), so any comments would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Luke

forgot to say that the type in question is quite a heavy grotesk

Luke, could you post a couple of letters or the whole logo? It helps visual people to have visual examples. Also how are you going to use the type at the smaller size? On the web or some sort of printing.
