Trying Out Typefaces: Updated

I am leaving this post in place, but removed the graphic element, which didn't translate consistently. See the NEW "typefaces" post here.

Playing with a series of different typefaces in Word to settle on a typographic style to use on printed material, heraldry, etc. I've always been partial to "Ry. Co." instead of "R.R." so these reflect that usage, but I might change my mind and revert to the more common terminology...

(The way the top line is jammed to the second line, if it is, is an artifact of Blogger... That is not the intent of the design. I am not sure how to fix that here and I don't want to take the time to figure it out.)

If you happen by these parts and have an opinion about which of these you like best, feel free to chime in in the comments. (You can identify your preferred face by the name in smaller type immediately below it.)

The premise is a fictional line in northern Wisconsin in the 1930s, primarily handling local traffic, but with some through traffic passing over it from Green Bay to northern Minnesota (Duluth/Superior). The primary local traffic includes logging (there will be a branch serving a logging camp, and there also will be a small sawmill to deliver the logs to), a brewery, and iron ore (haven't decided yet if there will be a mine on the existing layout or "off stage". Local way freight of various kinds and limited passenger traffic will round out the picture. A number of details are up in the air, but the location, setting, and logging theme in particular are fairly definite. A friend who is an angler recalls passenger trains that took people up north in years gone by during the fishing season, so that might be part of the mix, too.

Power will be smaller steam; the largest might be a 2-8-2 for freight or 4-6-2 for passenger service, but mainly it will be 2-6-0s, 2-6-2s, and probably a Consolidation (2-8-0). And at least one or more geared locos mainly serving the logging and perhaps mining traffic.
