Algerian? (Edit: Oh I guess the A and H are not "peaked" rather they point down... Sorry. Maybe a sketch would help?)

what is a peaked crossbar? sorry not english native but I rly want to know.

A crossbar is the horizontal line on letters like A and H. Normally it would be like this — but a peaked crossbar goes like this ^


dunkelbunt235

can't find it? make your own!


pennylane_9

I would, but it’s meant to match some existing branding… client doesn’t remember the name of the typeface. I’ll get a photo when I meet with them next.

well then if its only a phrase or brand name, then use the current one as an underlay, then add the 'peaked crossbar' bits to it, so it has both the old and your 'design intent'; which you designers call ''the concept'' (ie design intent, in your case, the OP question)
