I'm sorry but both typefaces are too bold for me. What about something like courier? Or sans seriph?

The serif elements are good for differentiating the different letters. Tiresias has less of these.

Additionally, we may end up with the font being less bold than shown as it will render differently on your actual screen (rather than when it's displayed in an image).

All the best,

"Somewhat whimsical, as Tiresias was the blind seer in Sophocles' Oedipus Rex."

The font was designed for the royal institute of the blind, so I reckon they're on in the joke. Good isn't it?

He also gender swapped for a bit, so it's very inclusive :)

Vote is now closed, there's a slim preference for Tiresias. Thanks for those who voted.

We'll submit the last set of designs for you by the end of the week, and then we'll get started.
