I like Century Gothic myself, but my font nut lecturer says it’s a copy of another type.īleeding Cowboys – completely desperate to use it in a project, but nothing has come up yet that warrants it! Don’t get much opportunity to look at fonts in my current work role as our branding is strict Arial. Helvetica: the best font for me, it looks great in all ways and with eny kind of color and is easy to read and to use with others fonts. Well you know I was going to groan about someone mentioning Verdana (Why?!) but I’m just happy that someone said Trebuchet.

And I agree with previous posts about bleeding cowboy, can something be classed as a Typographic font if it does not include the majority of characters? Lots of great fonts on here but feel that Times, Bleeding Cowboys and Comic Sans are overused by EVERYONE who claims they are a designer – I consciously will not use any of these. Gill Sans is a very good font, but I feel like I’ve been seeing it everywhere lately. A nice selection of fonts, it’s nice to see mostly classics cropping up in an age of endless free web fonts. Got to be Helvetica family – so much range in a single font in terms of variety in weight and styles and so timeless! Did a short article on the pros and cons of Comic Sans, so I think I’m in that medium state regarding it. Helvetica Neue for it’s incredible versatility-Letter spacing, size and the font variations can get you thousands of new fonts.

I really love the clean lines of Franklin Gothic family mixed up with classic letter forms of Adobe Caslon.

I sent out a tweet (follow me) asking my followers (and Facebook Friends) what their favourite font was and why – these were some of their replies… what about you? For the record, at present, my favourite is Gill Sans as I find it so versatile, especially when working with other fonts.
