ok I went with Tradegothic... it was just a really quick half hour job (text for back of a postcard for the company I work for) It turned out ok anyway. cheers.
I feel that I'm winging it a bit when it comes to type jobs. I came from fine art background then moved into design and now I'm doing motion graphics, so I never really got any formal training for typography.
I'm ok with the sizing and spacing with type and I know when it feels right, but it's the actual choosing of the fonts that I have probs with.
I'm thinking of buying this
