Interesting responses. Some usual suspects, some faces that are very much of the moment and I wonder if some of those choices would appear on your list 10 years from now.
As probably one of the older folks on here I could have answered with a list of 1970s ITC faces 30 years ago. I won't sully the forum with their names, though their resurgence for ironic effect has them high on many a cool list.

If you could only use five typefaces for the rest of your career, or even this year, what would they be?
Those dwelling entirely in the web world have already been sentenced to five fonts for life, so Georgia, Arial, Trebuchet etc. don't count.
