    Thought we could have some geeky fun. One serif, one sans. My two faves are Myriad Pro (the 'Apple' font):

    Clean and lovely.

    Caslon:

    I always thought Caslon was so beautiful.

    Any biters?

    Had Myriad in mind coming into this thread! Love how it looks in small sizes (10-18)

    In recent months I've been loving League Gothic

    Wow! I'm a bit of a Gothic family fan (well, just Book really) but that is gorgeous.

    Dada reminds me of Quadratt, used by the London Review of Books. Got a copy in Eason this time last year just to look at. Similiar enough to News 702 (used by Der Frankfurter Allemagne, German newspaper). Lovely stuff :)

    Two classics - Garamond and Gill Sans.

    I was a Mac user when I used fonts on a regular basis, and I don't always know the pc ones, but I love Gill Sans

    Edit to ask - how do you upload the pic already open?

    put before the image link and after.

    I've always loved Gill Sans :) And the movie about Helvetica is worth checking out.
