Only just saw it.

Mine would be Gentium and Helvetica. Rounded is the sub-class of a sub-class, so Volkswagen AktieGesellschaft will do nicely.

Helvetica

No, not anywhere close. And I don't own many of the ones posted myself; for some jobs I work onsite for companies and get to use their computers, which (sometimes) have quite extensive libraries. Definitely helps out when picking what fonts to actually buy yourself.

It's truly amazing though, that one foundry like hoefler has created so many good typefaces.

Building a good font library is extremely expensive. To buy all the fonts listed would cost about $12,000. An agency could easily afford it, but not me.

That's more or less my list too, although I don't own them all either. We just got a few of the H&FJ fonts in work last week. I've had a wonderful few days.

hawken · 29-06-2008, 23:44

Lets just list all the fonts on my mac. lol

ok a couple of no-brainers:

Helvetica, helvetica, HELVETICA

And my current fave: Typ 1451 (good purchase that, no other bugger is using it.)

Then there's neo sans, but thats loosing it's edge now, maybe due to it's low price or piracy.

Anyone who pirates fonts should have their eyes eaten out by ravenous baby pandas

hawken · 29-06-2008, 23:51

and yeah, links please people; lets keep this interesting.

Extremely good looking fonts, and I agree post the links for the more exotic fonts we are not familiar with

pasky · 02-07-2008, 12:10

man those Hoefler fonts are criminal

wheedwacker · 02-07-2008, 12:16

Typies: Romeral, a display typeface

Romeral is nice, especially for a free font.
