Hello,

Does anyone know of good examples for the use of the font Wilke on the internet (or in pdf files)? I was hoping to get a better impression of how it is best used (being myself very much a typography amateur), so any examples would be much appreciated. Also, is there a good bundle of fonts where Wilke is included?

Here is a link to the Linotype library:

Best,

I've always wanted to play around with Wilke, but never had a project where it was appropriate. That's a big problem with Wilke; it has a lot of "flavor" so you need a project where being that flavorful is okay, and that particular flavor fits.

If "Cthulhu by Gaslight" were to get re-issued, Wilke would be perfect for that. It's a horror role-playing game set in the Victorian era, and typically in England.

Regards,

T
