Description:
My take on Hellenic Wide, which I first saw in a Frank Chimero illustration. Some of his work looks ripped right out of the 50's and I love it. The capitals all fit pretty well into the FontStruct schema. I'd like to revisit this one sometime to see if it would work with a lighter stroke and skinnier character width.

great!
nevertheless i'm asking myself, if "n", "u" and maybe "r" seem to appear a little wide. what do you think about that?
