I really like Futura, Rockwell, Blaskerville, and the Conduit family.

It really depends on what I'm working on.

Avant Garde looks pretty spiffy too.

But many designers are using Avant Garde Gothic Alternative these days.

I really love FF Meta Sans, I'm looking forward to use FF Meta Serif! Helvetica is good, but in small dosis :P. Another sans I love is Frutiger, my favorite serif is Goudy Old Style

great forum!

When I was younger it was Comic Sans (well before its animosity grew), then it became Trebuchet, ironically created by the same person that made Comic Sans, but once I heard about Helvetica and noticed just how popular it was and how much it's used in typography and graphic design, I instantly fell in love with it.

I've become a big fan of century gothic thanks to Gorbott.

When I need a classy serif font, I like to go with Modern No. 20 . . . it seems like it belongs on the side of a bottle of spirits.

Georgia or Helvetica are my go-to sanses (sansi? sansai?), like them for web work.
