So I'm looking for a chunky, slightly modernist italic font but haven't really found what I'm looking for.
I'm aiming somewhere between Serpentine Sans which carries a certain unwanted 70s car chase movie vibe and Muscle which is just not quite legible enough. I'm mostly concerned with the digits and the uppercase alphabet for captions.
Suggestions?
For an appetizer: See the Extra/Ultra Bold list from Stephen Coles.
… and this thread: Cool alternatives to Serpentine Bold Oblique for a Racing Poster
not to be mercenary, but scroll down and look at Slag....
or Earth A.D. Spurred...
