your favourite font?

just wondering what your favourite font is, or if you were
writing a document which you would choose?

i guess you could call this research...

I like arial. Its simple, doesn't have any serifs (I hate
serifs), is easy to read and looks good.

For web, Arial/Helvetica or Georgia if you insist on serifs.
For print, Times.

Impact is too intense for everyday use I reckon. Yeah Ariel
is good for web etc. I like Verdana too although its a bit
girly. Suprised it hasn't been mentioned yet..

Verdana Sucks!

Helvetica, Geneva, Arial, Small Fonts, Fixedsys,
Monospace...

yeah, impact and motor are not for big text passages...

Taxidermist> I like impact, can't help it. I know it's not
very good. And there are more fonts i like, you know. But I
agree with you on the fact that i have bad taste in fonts.

For text documents, i'd use Times.. but not usual Times New
Roman. Old soviet books were all printed with the font I
mean, saying this is Times family, but it looks like Bookman
Old Style.

comic sans ms, and that smiley kit big uses.

Comic sans is horrific. Apparantly Times New Roman is the
easiest to read, hence it being a standard for the press.

that's a rough one...

Serif: Adobe Garramond (with oldstyle numbers) and Perpetua

San Serif: Interstate, Frutiger, Helvetica Neue, and Meta

Slab: Clarendon and Rockwell

would have to be my tops.

Verdana for small font sizes, Arial for larger.


 

offline JLefrere from London (United Kingdom) on 2005-04-06 04:58 [#01554246]
Points: 253 Status: Regular



Sans: Univers, Helvetica Neue, Futura, Gill Sans
Serif: Bembo, Baskerville, Georgia (for screen)
Slab serif: Glypha, Didot

Oh, and Arial is just a cheap rip of Helvetica :P

i use impact on msn messenger (14pts). i agree it's not
suitable for big blocks of text, but you gotta admit, this
font has some serious fucking personality, like myself :x
