What's your favorite font/typeface?

32. Some years ago, I forbade the use of Comic in my Dept.

Some years ago, I forbade the use of Comic in my Dept. (I manage a typesetting and mfg dept) because so many new employees thought Comic was the bee's-knees, and would use it at every opportunity.

For san-serifs typefaces, Lucida Sans Unicode and Futura Medium are my most used-- they're so very clean looking, and the one can use or not use kerning with either and still get a crisp look. For serif style, Bookman and Cheltenham, and for decorative, Impress, Casablanca and Murray Hill.

Anytime I'm laying out a new project with serif fonts, Bookman is my font of choice, as is Lucida for non-serif layouts and proofs.



Down there at the bottom of the barrel with Comic, I'd also list Dom Casual, and pretty much the entire Englishe and Swiss families.
