What's yours?
also it's a close tie between Akzidenz-Grotesk and Johnston Sans |

helvetica neue. akzidenz-grotesk is ok, but helvetica pretty much fixed everything i dislike about akzidenz grotesk. univers maybe sometimes. i like me some baskerville too with a little garamond on the side. i also really like modern typefaces like bodini or didot but i don't think they are that versatile.

imo the lower-case characters in Helvetica are too tall. that and I don't like the R in Helvetica. Baskerville is probably my favorite serif font, but I've never been a big fan of Garamond. Something about the a ruins it for me. I've been able to work Didot into a few designs, but never bodini.

Mine tastes mostly fall in line with JC's. I like Helvetica Neue for sans-serif typefaces (although I like to adjust the kerning to make the letters tighter), or Baskerville for serif fonts -- specifically, the Baskerville 13pt. font for body text.

12 pt. Comic Sans is an acceptable font when printed, but it's terrible otherwise.

Rockwell is my easy go-to-font that makes things look trendy and nice.
I like using Futura, Georgia, Arial, Arial rounded, Violation, Script, Jane Austen, Silkscreen, Lucida Sans Unicode, many more! |

I use Trebuchet MS for sans-serif typing, and I go with Palatino Linotype for school assignments that require a serif font.
I'm more acceptable of Arial than I used to, but I still won't pick it if I had a choice of other fonts. |
