    The style is close to Times New Roman take a look at the "W" it intersects eachother which TNR does not do. Any suggestions?

    If you look at some of my old posts under the name (void) I did some of thoes joke Watchtower and Awake covers. I have an extensive collection of fonts, most from www.dafont.com which has an option where you can type in the word and get a preview of it.

    I found a few close ones, but I guess it is an "in-house" font developed when they made their printing press. And meps or what ever you call that best in the world (sic:dire) translation and printing program.

    You can make a similar style with Garamond font.

    Go into ms word. type WATCHTOWER in all caps. Select the W and make it a few points bigger. I could probably forge it if nessesary and fonts do have a lot of rules to make them up and can be replicated with the right software.

    Maybe like this

    The logo is coded into the WtAtArtwork, but it's based on WtGaramondMedium, which used 99% Berthold Garamond / Garamond BE / URW Garamond T letterforms. Indeed it's an in-house rendition of Berthold Garamond Semibold.
