  (resists the urge to mention The Serif's 'Helvetica Serif'

  Fedra Serif A looks very nice.
  

  

  • I would prefer TheSerif– moamoa1/2

    I feel that Fedra got some untidy lines and if you look at Cap R & B their a bit thicker than the others.– MRB2/2

  Chronicle

  

  • Chronicle is beautiful but I don´t like theit example sheets– moamoa1/5

    Sometimes they are misleading. I like them though.– brains2/5

    I never found those images to really demonstrate how nice some of those fonts are. Even Linotype displays them nicely.– Jaline3/5

    its stupid how they display there fonts all the same . its crowed and uncler as to what im looking at. waste of money putting them into magazines when there so ugly no one will look...– crayz4/5

    come on now kids.. you know they DO have other examples.– brains5/5

  By far Hoefler & Frere-Jones probably has the most sophisticated and elegant serif and san serif collections of fonts anywhere!
  And they are damn expensive to boot...
