    yep, akzidenz light. lovely choice for headlines.

    Here's a sidebar: has anyone created something very similar to Akzidenz that works better in text settings? The regular version looks horrible in typical paragraph settings. Capital letters look thicker than lowercase, almost like forced small caps. I recently read a magazine that was set entirely in Akzidenz, and it made my eyes bleed.

    Any suggestions? I'm familiar with Akkurat by Lineto, but haven't had a chance to use it yet.
