Natwest font
Posted by Nick Harper on January 26, 2007 at 3:46 pmThis is a long shot, but there’s always a chance.
I’m hoping someone has the font that Natwest use for all their advertising, as below.
We have done work for them in the past, and have always had artwork supplied. But now they want us to produce some boards from start to finish.
If anyone has this font which i believe was created specifically for them, and is called Natwest, that is compatible with a PC, I will not only be very grateful but also very suprised.Many thanks

I have this on my font disks at work, but I’m not back in until
Monday. If this is soon enough, I’ll post it up.Cheers,

Hi Nick am I missing something ? don’t you keep your past work on file, if you do and have done work in the past you would surely have it wouldn’t you 🙄

the public version of that is called "Amerika Sans" it can be found here:
The original version was a custom font that NatWest had made for them. Long story short, it was leaked out and copied but the original was by Freda Sak Design.
Rotis Sans is also a close look alike with a few differences but not much.

George I thought the same thing too about custom font… we was asked to replace a letter that vandals ripped off our local natwest once, couldn’t really match it enough.. so we lost that one.

Its definately a custom font, we have done work for them and let me tell you how they refused to include it on any of the work they did, they treated it as if it were Fort Knox. Like I said previously though, it was leaked out and it was spread around the internet and then it spawned off a few replicas. There was a few posts in different design and font websites about that incident as well.

Jamie,- if you do have it on your fonts disc i would be very grateful if you posted it.

Here you go…..converted from Postscript Mac version to TrueType,
so should be OK for PC. Be careful with it!Cheers,

Cheers Jamie, much appreciated. There appeared to be three TTF versions in the file, – all Natwest Bold. Is that how it should be, or should there be a regular and light version.
The bold one will be well handy for what i need to do, so many many thanks.

That’s very odd, when I open the Zip, there are 3 files in there:-
NATWL___.TTF = light
NATWN___.TTF = normal
NATWB___.TTF = boldWhen I open them in FontBook, they come up with the correct weights.
I’ll attache them seperately.Cheers,
