Pairing Serpentine

TypoJunkie18 June 2010 · 08:38

Ok, first off, I have to say I really don't care much for Serpentine (http://www.linotype.com/1465/serpentine-family.html), but the client's logo (which uses it) WILL NOT BE MODIFIED (the clients words, not mine). And we have to find a typeface that 'goes well with it'.

We've been looking for a while, but nothing has seemed right. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe eurostile? Or just helvetica condensed...

A square sans serif.

You could try Beaufort Extended.
It is low contrast, has sharp little serifs, and the Extended matches Serpentine's width in the lower case.

Thanks guys!

And sorry for the late reply; it's been a bit hectic lately.
