Modern and Elegant Type Suggestions

daleharvey

I am most certainly not a designer, but I would like to come up with a decent logo, ive trawled threw hundreds of fonts and not found much that look relevant

The company name is “hypernumbers”, it plans to be the de facto standard for sharing numbers ’doing for numbers what hypertext did for text’

I quite like elegant fonts, usually stick to serif, but with this it does need to be quite modern and technical

Current Samples is what I have found so far, I prefer 1 the most (KofiPure), particularly the quircky descender on y, but it does looks quite chunkily constructed, 2 (Avance) is a font i love, but overuse, and it doesnt quite fit, the other I just came across, i quite like it, but certainly not convinced

I would really appreciate any suggestions on faces or even places to look

Thanks

Dale

For something less “chunkily constructed”, have a look at FF Max.

Where does “Avance” come from? I wonder if it preceded FF Avance.

It was FF Avance, but I have changed the order of the faces so its not #2 anymore,

thanks for the suggestion, I quite like that face, although im leaning towards

But FF Avance isn’t in your image at all.

daleharvey

Yeh I took out FF Avance completely, sorry saying I reordered them was confusing

daleharvey

well
