Jerry Cotton posted:I've read a few books entirely set in Bodoni and it was rather unpleasant. Which I hope my second line makes all the more clear, didones suck at small sizes and make you claw out your eyes. I have no idea why people do it. However, it can work really well as a companion type for highlights/notes etc, even down to sizes of 8 points. Oh and that Proxima Nova Twerk is amazing.

 I'm in love with this one. It's a semi-serif Baskerville created exclusively for the University of Sussex. Anybody got something similar to recommend that is commercially available? But not Museo. Never Museo. Is the overuse of Museo a world wide thing or is it just where I live?

Museo is free to use if you don't bother with other styles, so that's why. Actually was a quite smart marketing trick, and yes you see it way too often. Oh and of course slabs were trendy for the past few years. That's a weird Baskerville, the stroke-ends with no serifs are quite awkward on the m. Similar? Well a free Baskerville? Will look a bit further but usually awkward design also includes awkward caps, spacing, no styles. So not that usable.

Museo is overused everywhere, it’s not just you. MyFonts has a bunch of Semi-Serifs of varying degrees of quality. Rotis Semi Serif is a popular one, but I personally hate Rotis for its ugly “e”. For other professional grade semi-serif types, I like Storm’s Areplos, and Jeremy Dooley’s Marintas looks pretty.

I went to the doctor the other day and my checkup form was all in Comic Sans  Can someone help me confirm the font used in US Army manual headings, also seen (in a wornout variant) on the cover of the Zombie Survival Guide?  I want to say it's Futura or Twentieth Century, but am not quite sure.

'tis Futura. I had a series of debt collection letters a couple of years ago that started in Calibri for the nice ones, then switched to Comic Sans for the demanding ones. Maybe assumed I was dyslexic & couldn't read the first few?

What's everyone's view on Garamond? I always liked it because it's noticeably different from the bog standard Times New Roman you see everywhere but still looks just as official. I started using it in high school for basically every paper I wrote and haven't looked back. Seriously though, Garamond is nice.

I had a teacher who demanded TIMES NEW ROMAN ONLY, as many do. She pissed me off, so I gradually switched to Garamond throughout my papers. Basically, I put more time into changing individual letters and then eventually whole words throughout the length of it than I did writing the paper itself. She didn't notice

I didn't use Garamond for school stuff since it's pretty narrow. As far as I recall I used Bookman Old Style a lot because it's not  3½ pages could easily turn into 4 pages.

If you widen the left margin, teach will notice because it'll be tabbed over more than the other kid's papers. But if you widen the right margin....  HAhaha! Extra line breaks!

I always 1.2 spaced my block quotes to pad poo poo out, nobody ever noticed. A lot of the time when I see a font I like it just turns out to be another Futura variant. The ultimate font.

Another font request, the one that starts off with the "Once..." at the bottom. I know I've seen it on a lot of old posters, but I can't place the name:

Top one is Alternate Gothic Condensed. DIN is a good second choice. Bottom one is a generic text serif. Looks like either Harriet Text or Miller Text, but really, you don't need to be picky.

Anyone have any idea what font the Tamám Shud note actually is? Some googling has led me to some people saying it's a variation of Uncial but I haven't managed to find anything that comes quite close enough. For reference:
