Default font that portrays "strength" ?

I'm looking for a font that screams "strong", "muscle", "Strength".

any ideas? free or commercial.

so far I've taken a look at Impact, NoSans Bold, URWAmericanaT Bold, and Yearling ExtraBold. but none of those seem quite right....

yeah, i've checked out impact...it's used so often, was hoping for something more...distinct? something professional with a touch of elegance? if that is even possible ;)

I'd agree with you both on impact, also Eurostile Extended can say strength (the bold version) because of it's length and block style lettering.


Eurostile Bold Extended Two


also I'm a fan of handel gothic

Handel Gothic







Again handel shapes always mean strength although this is a little 'techno' which may not be wanted depending on the design.
