I'm looking for a sans serif font (similar to Arial) with a (fairly) symmetrical 'S'

This is Arial's S:



See how the top part is so different from the bottom?

Even if not 100% symmetrical, if somebody can help me find a better one?

Or know how to edit this one (Arial) to at least improve it... I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks!

I suggest that you draw a new S in a font editor using a grid. Here is my attempt to create a symmetrical S. It does look a little bit unbalanced but it will always do if you are striving towards symmetry.

The 'S' is a weird glyph...there's a reason why it's usually not exactly symmetrical.

Helvetica is more symmetrical than Arial:



Another font that came to mind is Giogio Sans - different than Arial, to be sure, but certainly pretty symmetrical:



League Gothic is different than Arial but has a fair amount of symmetry to it (depending on how you define symmetry, I guess):



One more symmetrical font that's not like Arial - Tungsten:

Do you have access/ability to use Adobe Illustrator? If so, right click on the text and select "Create Outlines". Then you will have a path that you can modify.
