• Natwest font

    Posted by Nick Harper on January 26, 2007 at 3:46 pm

    This 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
    Nick

    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,
    Jamie.

    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.

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

    Cheers,
    Jamie.

    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 = bold

    When I open them in FontBook, they come up with the correct weights.
    I’ll attache them seperately.

    Cheers,
    Jamie.
