Black Slabbath for the win. Akimoto looks stretched to me and a lot of the characters seem inconsistent with the rest. Cool idea for the negative white space within certain characters like N B and U but look at characters like the F and the L. Noooo good. Black Slabbath is far more refined. The characters fit together much better.

I love akimoto, but Black Slabbath has lower case! Believe it or not, there are times when you really need it

hi dave… not to be the copy police, but missing the ‘L’ in Slabbath in several instances.

I have to go with Black Sabbath. The uppercase ‘K’ seals the deal. Great font. Cheers.
