Thanx for the compliments on the folio guys. Always makes the day sunnier.
I dont know why I love that font. It does what it sais. I find it very powerful. I dont really use it because its impact, its like the standard font you get with windows, so thats why I cant use it. and Im going an ad for T mobile and I cant use it for them, all designers will be like saying " dude, thats impact...lame!!!
Ill check out the ones you mentioned.Thanx

I didn't think you were allowed to love Impact anymore? Isn't it the next Comic Sans? Or is it some stylish/ironic design thing?

the problem with impact or Compacta and the likes is that they tend to fill up and loose legibility when reduced...
but when larger it def is a smack you over the head typeface..

You are wise to avoid any font that comes bundled with an OS. It's one of the more obvious signs of amateur work and yours is clearly not. Some links:
Anzeigen Grotesk
http://www.fontshop.com/index.cf…Permanent Headline - no descenders can be very handy
http://www.fontshop.com/index.cf…Bee - an ultra condensed powerhouse
http://www.fontshop.com/index.cf…California Grotesk - strange and strong
http://www.fontshop.com/index.cf…Baucher Gothic - rounded and condensed
http://www.fontshop.com/index.cf…Roswell - more irregular, wood type feel
http://www.fontshop.com/index.cf…Bureau Grotesque - a set of wood type headliners similar to Hoefler's Knockout and Champion

typographica's knowledge of fonts never fails to astound and terrify me
