I have a client that wants a "Native American" looking font. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

that's kinda oxymoronic....they used pictograms IF they had a written language....kinda juxtaposing two cultures that are very different from each other (native american and phonetics)
i'd just go with something that was very traditional....something like a elegant serif face or something.....

Hee hee. Actually, she has kind of a new age/spiritual business so I am thinking something a little more sophisticated than above font ;), but still calligraphic I guess. I just hope it's not another request for Papyrus in disguise :)

tell the client that anything that looks native american lumps thousands of tribes together and does a great disservice to the indigent and your client. they should be more specific if they want dineh, lakota, deleware, etc.

Well, I am going to give her several options for a logo. and play up the one with the font I think suits best, which won't be a cheesy "Native" font. But I don't really think that is what she wants. I actually thinks she wants a more calligraphic font. but we'll see. I am thinking of a logo that uses a bird/sun wheel type of icon, so I'll see what best plays with that.
Thanks for the advice so far (the serious replies anyway lol)
