I am starting a new magazine and had questions about Fonts. I chose to use the Myriad family for titles, sidebars, callouts, etc. and Garamond for body copy. Should I just stick with these two (a san-serif and serif) or is that going to limit me? I was thinking of adding another font (maybe Impact) to give a little pop here and there. Actually I am using one more font as well but it is a decorative, script font (Stanford Script) used in the logo for my company that is producing the magazine. I just thought I would use it sparingly in various titles/subheads throughout as well.

Anyone have thoughts on this or struggle with a similar scenario? What font combinations have you used in the past?

Thanks!
