vacuum forming type

Michael Green

hi

i will be vacuum forming type shortly for a mould.

currently using helvetica (i know) ultra compressed at 320pt with +10 spacing.
going for the hersheys logo feel.

the issue im having is that the S and G have too much happening and im a bit worried that the vacuum process will not pick up as much detail as id like.

any ideas? maybe alternative typefaces?

although glyph modification could be an answer im not too versed in that area

regards
