c’mon kyle... you can draw a W!!! ;^P

Well there’s Blackoak. (It even has black in the name)

Paul — Damn you. ;-)

Thats actually what I thought as soon as I posted this. (thinking to myself) “Why the hell don’t I just draw it? It is one glyph, and not even a very hard glyph to draw”

Needless to say, it is drawn now.

But I’m still looking for suggestions.

just post it in the crit section, and we’ll all give you advice so you can tweak it endlessly to perfection.

Stymie ExtraBold?
Rockwell ExtraBold?
Parkinson Black?
Colossalis Black?

Anyway Slabs look heavier than Sans...

Font Bureau’s Giza

another FB font to look at: Dispatch. but i still want you to draw your own. heh

Hoefler+Frere-Jones’ Proteus Project or Knockout Series G
Typofonderie’s Parisine (Plus) Sombre Bold or Anisette Petite Black
Font Bureau’s Amplitude Ultra or Interstate UltraBlack (Armada would be cool, but it is more of a technical drawing)
Gill Sans ExtraFattyWide (Can’t remember the name)

That would be Gill ExtraBold Display…

David Berlow’s Eagle has a lot of character in the heavy weights.

Thank you, gents.

Some good options here. I might end up drawing something — but it is nice to have some others to fall back upon.

Also look at Aachen:

Paul (and whom ever is interested,

You can see the W I have drawn in this new thread.

For what it’s worth, I think you should take a look at Maple...

Always even heavier than you remembered.

It seems my thread has died. It burried some where with the Uppercase forum. :(

What about Fedra Display 2 by Typotheque?

Or Capone Heavy by myself?

Maple! Right! Gorgeous Grot!!

It is already done. I drew it myself. I posted it for critique — but the thread/upper case seems to have been abducted by aliens.

This is the W I ended up drawing.

Kyle,

That’s a great ’W’. It’s like a wider Futura Black ’W’.

Anti —

Thanks. I totally forgot about Futura Black, it does look a lot like that, doesn’t it.
