Time to send out some CVs. Does anyone have thoughts of feelings concerning font selection?
I'm thinking Din or Gill Sans (Book/compressed) and of course Trajan.
Yeah, I'm kidding about the Trajan.

What about find something a bit more contemporary than the greatest hits of the lead type era? How about goods from Process (like Klavika or Stratum) or pulling something from Vllg (like National)?
