Tall Large Font For Banner

Hi - i am looking for a TALL , preferably THIN font that does not distort at larger sizes like 72pt etc as i want to use if for my website banner.

I have seen one on a website that is used for the banner on the website tetsuyas dot com - had to write it like that as i am a newbie. (see the name TETSUYA'S at the top).

The problem i have encountered is that curved letters are jagged and distorted at this kind of size.

Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

Not true - if styled nicely it can look quite good

Yes, I can see how adding a bevel, outline and drop shadow would improve it.

I still think it's ugly, though.
