(x) wide sans serif on Wallpaper magazine cover - Burin Sans {Stephen}

Seadreams

I am in need of recommendations of typefaces that it's characters are short in height and very long in width.
Sorry I don't have any examples at the time.
One I can think of is quite round in it's line form?
Any ideas?

Are you looking for sans or serif? How extended do you want to go? The first options that come to mind are Engravers Gothic/Sackers Gothic/Blair and Trade Gothic Extended.

Hey Lex, thanks for your ideas. Blair was the one I was thinking of...
A sans or serif, just has to be classy! A long extension would be great. Thanks

A long extension...

Wide:
Luxury

Wider...

Thanks! I have flatiron, I will test that one out. Zeppelin looks nice also.
The exact font I am after is similar to flatiron but has rounded lines?
Anyone know of this one? I know it was used in Wallpaper magazine on a cover? I will try and finf the issue cover...

Amplitude Wide? The wide cut isn't that wide but it's the face used in Wallpaper.

I don't think that is the one I am after. See attached a pic of the issue of Wallpaper that has the typeface I am after. Sorry about the size, I couldn't find bigger?!
It's the one that says 'Build a better life'. Anything similar to this or even wider would be perfect!

Hmm this isn't it but what about Titling Gothic FB Wide?

The abovementioned Zeppelin is close to your sample.

Thanks Geoff, close... any other ideas

That sample looks like Sackers Gothic.

Zeppelin would have been my suggestion - it gives you lots of options.

Akzidenz Grotesk has a good extended too.

Thanks for the suggestions. Stephen, I liked your options. I still really want to find out that typeface on the wallpaper cover. Pattyfab, definitely close with Sackers Gothic but slightly different. Anyone????

Ahh, that looks like it was back in the day when they were using Burin Sans.

Thanks so much!!

You can always count on Stewf to save the day. ;^)
