Help me find a font

September 6, 2024 11:08 AM

Designers of MeFi! I am getting a custom thing made and hoping to find a font that evokes the same feel as the WWE "W" on their belts. (That letter isn't technically a font, but rather a drawing, so the designer can't just download it.) Do you know a thick, pointy kinda font we could use instead? Doesn't have to be free download but that would, natch, help. Thanks!

I don’t really have a sense of what you’re looking for font-wise but if you go to dafont.com and select a category and then type “W” into the preview window, you’ll just see W in every font, least confusing way to narrow it down. These fonts are free to download.

I used Identifont to get some ideas. Futura will get you close to what you're looking for. If you outline the letter then skew it, you can get even closer.

(not sure if you need the "double-stacked" look of the logo, or just a single W, but I didn't take that into acccount.)
